Navigate to an item in the Experience Editor

Abstract

In the Experience Editor, there are more than one method you can use to navigate to the page or item that you want to work on.

In the Experience Editor, you can navigate to the page or item that you want to work on using one of the following methods:

  • Preview mode – use this method if you want to browse the website to get to the page.

  • Navigation bar – use this method if you want to navigate to the page in a menu structure.

  • Search – use this method if you want to search for the specific item. This is very helpful if you need to work on an item or page on another website.

If you enable the preview mode, you can browse to a specific page like on a regular website.

  • To enable the preview mode, in the ribbon, in the Mode group, click Other, and in the drop-down menu, click Preview.
