[![Frontend Edit](./Documentation/Images/screenshot.jpg)](./Documentation/Images/screenshot.jpg) Important **Delineation and classification**: This is **not** a further development of the "original" extension [frontend\_editing](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/frontend_editing). It is similar in some ways to the realisation of the [feedit](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/feedit) extension. This extension is an independent implementation with a different approach. See the [Delineation](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Delineation/Index.html) page in the documentation for a detailed comparison with related extensions like [visual\_editor](https://github.com/FriendsOfTYPO3/visual_editor) and [content\_preview](https://github.com/T3-UX/content_preview). The extension injects a small JavaScript into the frontend that generates action links to the TYPO3 backend, bridging the gap between frontend preview and backend editing. Note **Why?** TYPO3 editors often need to switch between the frontend and the backend to find and edit the right content element. This extension eliminates that context switch by providing editing actions directly where the content is displayed — making the editorial workflow faster and more intuitive. ✨ Features ---------- [](#-features) - **Content Element Editing** - **[Edit Menu](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Usage/EditMenu.html)** - Quick access to edit, hide, delete, and move content elements - **[Delete Confirmation](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Usage/EditMenu.html#delete-confirmation)** - Confirmation dialog before deleting records *(new in v2.3)* - **[Inline Editing](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Usage/ContextualEditing.html)** *(experimental)* - Edit content directly in the frontend - **New Content Wizard** - Create new content elements via TYPO3's native New Content Element Wizard, hosted in the slide-in iframe modal on both v13 and v14 (requires `frontendEdit.enableContextualEditing`) - **Page Toolbar** - **[Toolbar](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Usage/Toolbar.html)** - Page-level actions and toggle for frontend editing - **Dark/Light Mode** - Automatic or manual color scheme selection - **Configurable Position** - 12 toolbar positions available - **Configuration** - **[Site Settings](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Configuration/SiteSettings.html)** - Per-site configuration via YAML - **[UserTSconfig](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Configuration/UserTSconfig.html)** - Disable frontend editing per user or user group - **Developer** - **[PSR-14 Events](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/DeveloperCorner/Events.html)** - Customize menus with custom actions - **ViewHelpers** - [Data attributes](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/DeveloperCorner/DataAttributes.html) for related records, [column target buttons](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/DeveloperCorner/EmptyColumns.html) for new content (empty columns and end-of-column) *(new in v2.3)* ### Inline Editing *(experimental)* [](#inline-editing-experimental) Note New in **v2.2+** — thanks to [Violetta Digital Craft](https://www.violetta.ch/) for supporting this feature.
