Using editables
As we introduced in Chapter 4, Creating Documents in Pimcore, Pimcore's editables are a set of visual components that can be used to enter information in the CMS page and are able to render the output to get the web page ready. You should remember the pimcore_input
and pimcore_wysiwyg
components; well, the good news is that Pimcore has a lot of components like that and covers most of your user needs. In this section, we will take a look at these.
Important note
In the Editables list, we should have Area and Areablock components, but we won't discuss these in this chapter.
