Manage your website content visually without leaving Kontent.ai. With Web Spotlight, content creators can produce and update web content, add pages and subpages, and generally edit the elements displayed on your website. All this with an easy-to-navigate page tree and content preview at hand right next to the authoring area in Kontent.ai.

Web Spotlight is a separate section in Kontent.ai. That means content creators can work with content within the web context while other roles can work on content without thinking of the final channel.

In Web Spotlight, you find two main sections:

Page tree with website navigation on the left:
- Manage your pages and view them.
Content editing pane with the preview on the right:
- Switch between the Editor and Preview tabs to see your changes right after you make them.
- Click the pencil button in an element to edit its content directly within the preview pane. For this to work, your developers must first set up inline editing.

Watch the video below to get a more detailed overview of Web Spotlight.

Websites consist of a page hierarchy called a page tree. Creating new pages is then done directly in the page tree:

Since website navigation is one of the key features of any website, we recommend incorporating the functionality right at the start of implementing your project. That’s when you evaluate how many projects you need, and Web Spotlight can help you decide.

At Kontent.ai, we believe that headless is the right way for microservices architecture. Yet, apps are only as powerful as the people who use them. And that’s the purpose of Web Spotlight – to give website management power to business people.As you create pages with Web Spotlight, you’ll have a clear view of how they appear across your channels and within your page tree. Web Spotlight promotes effective organization by grouping your pages under a common root.When active, Web Spotlight is a tight part of Kontent.ai.
