Step 1: Ensure You Are Listed as an Editor

Before you can access the Webflow Editor, you need to be listed as an editor in your Webflow project’s site settings. Here’s how to check:

1. Contact Your Site Administrator: If you’re not sure whether you’re listed as an editor, reach out to the person managing your website. This might be someone from our team or within your organization. If your are the site admin, then you can check this yourself.
2. Verify Your Email: For site admins, navigate to Site Settings and select Site Access. Make sure your email address is correct under the Editor Access list. You may need to update your email or add a new editor. You will receive an invitation email from Webflow if you’ve been added correctly.

Step 2: Add "?edit" to the End of Your Site’s URL

Once you’re listed as an editor, accessing the Webflow Editor is simple:

1. Open Your Web Browser: Use any web browser you prefer (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.).
2. Enter Your Site’s URL: Type your website’s URL into the address bar.
3. Add "?edit": At the end of your site’s URL, add “?edit” (without the quotes). For example, if your site’s URL is www.yoursite.com, you would enter www.yoursite.com?edit.
