zFairs Tip: Manager vs Editor
What is the difference between a configuration "Manager" and the configuration "Editors"? We are here to set the record straight so you can understand how to use them to their fullest.
- Managers create different functions on your site, and give you an area to manage these new functions.
- Editors are for adding or editing content on your site or in emails.
In example, if you want to create a new page, find the page manager. If you want to add content to your homepage, find the main page content editor.
Watch the Configuration Library shorts on our social media sites to learn more about how the configs, editors, and managers work.
