Alt Live Editor

Edit entry content by clicking it in Live Preview.

1.0.0

November 6th, 2026

Added

  • Inline editing of text and Bard fields in Live Preview, pushed into the publish form.
  • Click-to-edit overlays for images, entries, taxonomy and tags fields, with native or built-in pickers.
  • Add, move, configure and delete page builder rows from the preview.
  • alt_live_editor tags for page builder rows, images and relationship fields.
  • The row toolbar appears on keyboard focus as well as hover, its buttons have accessible names and a visible focus ring, and the add-section buttons highlight on focus.
  • wrap_empty_fields option, to make Live Preview match the live site for empty fields.

Security

  • The entries and taxonomy pickers only return entries and terms from collections and taxonomies the signed-in user can view.
  • The row and set endpoints refuse blueprints the user cannot view, and their errors no longer echo request input.
  • Request input to the pickers and the Bard parser is validated, and entry data is escaped before it is put into picker markup.

Fixed

  • The native pickers for images, entries and taxonomy fields open on Statamic 6, which prefixes field ids with the publish container name.
  • Bard fields that have sets configured still loop in Live Preview, and their text between sets stays editable.
  • Every editable span is removed from an HTML attribute that holds several of them, instead of only the first.
  • Clicking a link inside an entries, taxonomy, tags or image wrapper opens the picker.
  • A page builder row that renders nothing shows a placeholder, so it can still be configured or deleted.
  • The editing script is only added to HTML responses, and the as parameter of alt_live_editor accepts a plain element name only.
