You need to access the Webflow Editor directly from your published site because administrators sign in differently than regular collaborators. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open Your Published Website
- Go to your website’s live URL (e.g.,
https://yourdomain.com
). - If you're still using Webflow's free hosting, use the Webflow subdomain (e.g.,
https://your-site.webflow.io
).
2. Use the Editor Login Shortcut
- Append
?edit
to the end of the URL: - Example:
https://yourdomain.com/?edit
- Press Enter, and the Webflow Editor login screen should appear.
3. Log In with Your Webflow Credentials
- Enter your Webflow account email and password (the same login used for the Webflow Designer).
- If you have the right permissions, Webflow will open the Editor instead of the Designer.
4. Edit CMS Collections
- Once inside the Editor, navigate to Collections in the left sidebar.
- Select the CMS Collection you want to update.
- Click on an item to modify its content.
5. If Login Issues Persist
- Ensure that you've published your site from the Webflow Designer to at least the Webflow subdomain.
- If the login error continues, try using an incognito/private browser window to rule out cache issues.
Summary
Since you’re a site administrator, you must use ?edit
on your published site’s URL to access the Webflow Editor. Log in with your Webflow credentials to enter content into CMS Collections. If issues persist, check your publishing status and try an incognito browser session.
