Edit, hide, delete, reorder and create TYPO3 content, without leaving the frontend.

It adds an edit button to every content element, a page-level toolbar, and optional inline editing and drag &amp; drop, all rendered directly on top of the live frontend.

[![Frontend Edit](./Documentation/Images/screenshot.png)](./Documentation/Images/screenshot.png)

Note

**Why?** TYPO3 editors constantly switch between frontend and backend just to find the right content element. This extension removes that context switch: the editing actions appear exactly where the content is displayed.

Tip

Nothing showing up? Custom templates need to expose a content element ID (`id="c123"`). The [FAQ](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/FAQ/Index.html) walks through the six usual causes.

Important

This is **not** a further development of [frontend\_editing](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/frontend_editing). It is an independent implementation with a different approach, closer in spirit to [feedit](https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/feedit). See the [comparison](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Delineation/Index.html) for details.
