CMS Explorer

Last updated 2 November 2026

The CMS Explorer allows you to view your CMS's directory structure. This visibility enables developers to learn the system's internals quickly and helps them maintain consistency when adding new features or making changes. Additionally, this capability simplifies debugging and troubleshooting, resulting in quicker turnaround times for software fixes.

The following topics are discussed:

  • Viewing files
  • Editing files

Viewing files

To view files using the explorer:

  1. Navigate to the CMS from the main menu.
  2. Select Explorer.
  3. Select one of the folders to see the folders it contains.
  4. Select any subsequent folder to view the files or sub folders contained in it.

Editing files

To edit a file:

  1. Navigate to the CMS from the main menu.
  2. Select Explorer.
  3. Navigate to the folder containing the file you want to update.
  4. Select the file you want to update.
  5. Select EDIT. The file opens in its own editor in a new browser tab. This is the Partials, Layouts, Pages, Collections, Auth Policies, Emails or SMS editor.
  6. Make your changes and save them in that editor.

The Explorer only shows files. You can edit only the file types listed above. Files of other types cannot be edited from the Explorer.
