Owner quick start

Make your first website update

This guide is for the person running the site after Mirin builds it. You will open a page, make a small content change, preview it, and publish the approved version.

On this page
A change made and not yet live: the request and the reply in the rail, the draft highlighted on the page, Publish waiting.

The basic flow

Every content change you make follows the same four moves.

  1. Open a page. Choose the page you want to update, then open it in the visual editor.
  2. Edit the safe fields. Update copy, images, links, button text, form copy, and section settings from the sidebar, or tell Mirin the change in your own words.
  3. Preview the change. Use preview before publishing so you can review the page the way visitors will see it.
  4. Publish when ready. Publish the approved version. Mirin serves the page quickly from the edge.

Where each step happens

  • Opening and editing happen in the workspace, on your computer.
  • Safe fields are the parts of a section we prepared for you to change. The design around them stays put.
  • Preview shows the draft exactly as visitors will see it, at a private link you can share.
