Fine-tuning pages with the Manual editor

Uncanny Agent is the main way to build and restructure pages, but sometimes you want to fix a typo or nudge some spacing yourself. The Manual editor is for that kind of fine-tuning.

Turn on Manual edits

In the Page Builder toolbar, turn on the Manual edits switch (on a narrow screen it reads Manual). The editor panel opens with three tabs:

  • Elements: styles for the element you select on this page.
  • Page: styles that apply to this page only.
  • Brand styles: site-wide styles for every page built with Uncanny Page Builder (see Setting up your brand styles).

Turning on the Manual edits switch in the Page Builder toolbar opens the editor panel with the Elements, Page, and Brand styles tabs

Edit content directly

  • Text: double-click any text on the canvas and edit it in place.
  • Images: click an image to adjust its settings or swap in a different file.

Style any element

Click an element on the canvas to select it. The Elements tab shows what you selected (for example, h1#webinar-title) and a full style inspector:

  • Content: the element’s text and attributes
  • Typography: fonts, sizes, and weights
  • Background, Border, Shadow, and Effects
  • Spacing and Layout
  • Navigator: the element’s place in the page structure
  • Where styles come from: which styles are inherited, and from where
  • Hover & states: separate styles for the hover and focus states

The panel also shows the section that contains your selection, with options to delete it or save it as a reusable part.

Preview at any width

Use the device selector to preview and edit the page at desktop, tablet, and mobile widths. Styles can differ per device.

Send it to Uncanny Agent for a polish pass

Select any element and click Edit with Uncanny Agent to hand it to Uncanny Agent. This works well when you can point at what’s wrong but would rather describe the fix: “Change the color and font of this text to make it pop” or “Make this headline more compelling.”

Undo anything

Every edit, yours or Uncanny Agent’s, can be undone. The editor keeps a history of up to 30 changes per page, and safeguards stop Uncanny Agent from overwriting your most recent edits.

The Manual editor is built for fine-tuning. For structural changes, redesigns, or new sections, conversation is faster.
