This extension provides an edit menu for editors within the frontend regarding content elements and pages.

Note

**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 has been developed to provide a simple and lightweight solution to easily start the editing of content elements from the frontend and thus reduce the gap between frontend and backend. Therefore, a simple javascript is injected into the frontend, which generates action links to the TYPO3 backend with the corresponding edit views.

✨ Features
----------

[](#-features)

- **Edit Menu** - Quick access to edit, hide, delete, and move content elements
- **Toolbar** - Page-level actions and toggle for frontend editing
- **Site Settings** - Per-site configuration via YAML
- **PSR-14 Events** - Customize menus with custom actions
- **Data ViewHelper** - Add edit links for related records (e.g., news items)
- **Dark/Light Mode** - Automatic or manual color scheme selection
- **Configurable Position** - 12 toolbar positions available
- **Save &amp; Close** - Quick return to frontend after editing
- **UserTSconfig** - Disable frontend editing per user or user group

Note

**New in v2.2.0 — Contextual Editing Sidebar** *(experimental)*

Edit content elements and page properties directly in a sidebar panel without leaving the frontend. Uses TYPO3 v14.2's `record_edit_contextual` route for a streamlined editing experience.

[![Contextual Editing Sidebar](./Documentation/Images/sidebar.jpg)](./Documentation/Images/sidebar.jpg)

Enable via Site Settings: `frontendEdit.enableContextualEditing: true`— [Documentation](https://docs.typo3.org/p/xima/xima-typo3-frontend-edit/main/en-us/Usage/ContextualEditing.html)
