This guide is for content editors who create and manage pages in Pala. You’ll learn how to create pages, add blocks, edit content, and publish your work.
If you’re a developer setting up Pala, share this guide with your content editors.

​
The Editor Interface

The Pala editor has three main areas:
  1. Sidebar - Draggable blocks and library
  2. Canvas - Visual page editor
  3. Toolbar - Site navigation, Pages, and Publish button

​
Creating Pages

1

Open Pages dialog

Click “Pages” in the toolbar.
2

Create new page

Click “Create Page”.
3

Choose page type

Select a page type (e.g., “Blog Post”, “Default”).
Page types determine which blocks you can use. Your developer configures these.
4

Set page details

Fill in:
  • Name: Page title
  • Slug: URL path (auto-generated)
  • Any other fields the page type requires
Your page is created. Now add blocks to build content.

​
Working with Blocks

Blocks are the building blocks of your pages.

​
Adding Blocks

1

Find a block in sidebar

Browse available blocks in the left sidebar.
Available blocks depend on what your developer enabled for this page type.
2

Drag onto page

Drag the block from the sidebar onto your page. Drop it where you want it.
3

Edit content

Click the block to open its editor and fill in the fields.

​
Editing Blocks

  1. Hover over a block to see the block toolbar
  2. Click Edit to open the editor
  3. Fill in text, images, links, etc.
  4. Changes auto-save
You can also double-click a block to open its editor.

​
Reordering Blocks

Drag blocks to reorder them:
  1. Hover over a block
  2. Use the drag handle (appears in toolbar)
  3. Drag up or down to new position

​
Deleting Blocks

  1. Hover over a block
  2. Click the trash icon in the block toolbar
  3. Confirm deletion

​
Publishing

When your page is ready:
  1. Click “Publish” in the toolbar (or press Cmd/Ctrl + P)
  2. Click “Publish Changes” in the dialog
  3. Wait for completion (~10-30 seconds)
Your changes are now live!
Changes auto-save as you work, but aren’t live until you publish.
