How can I access the Webflow Editor to begin entering content in my custom CMS Collections templates? I can't sign in on the login page because it says I am the site administrator, but I don't see a sign-in option on the General tab in Site Settings.

To access the Webflow Editor and start entering content in your custom CMS Collections templates, you need to follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are logged in with the account that has administrator access to the Webflow project for which you want to access the Editor.

2. Open the Webflow Designer for your project by clicking on the "Edit Site" button on your Webflow dashboard or by manually navigating to the project URL ending with "-webflow.io" (e.g. yourprojectname.webflow.io).

3. Once the Designer is open, look for the icon in the top-right corner of the Designer toolbar that resembles a pencil on a piece of paper. Click on this icon to access the Editor.

4. In the Editor, you can navigate through your site's pages by clicking on the page names displayed in the left-hand sidebar. Locate the CMS Collections pages you want to edit and click on them to access their individual template.

5. On the Editor's interface, you'll find various editing options, depending on how you've set up your CMS Collections. You can add, update, and delete content in the fields specified within your CMS Collections template. The Editor provides a user-friendly interface for content entry, allowing you to make changes without touching any code.

If you can't see the sign-in option on the General tab in Site Settings, it's likely because you're already logged in as the site administrator. Webflow has recently made changes to its Editor authentication process, and now, site administrators are automatically logged into the Editor when accessing the Designer. This change eliminates the need for an explicit sign-in option in the Site Settings.

Simply following the steps mentioned above while logged in as the site administrator should grant you access to the Editor, allowing you to start entering content in your custom CMS Collections templates.
