Streamline Your Content Creation: Webflow’s New CMS On-Canvas Editing

At Nexus Commerce, we're always on the lookout for the latest tools that can enhance your digital experiences. Today, we’re excited to share an important update from Webflow that’s set to make content management easier and more intuitive than ever: CMS on-canvas editing.

What’s New?

Webflow’s latest feature allows you to edit CMS content directly on the visual canvas. This means that you can now spin up new CMS Collection pages and edit existing ones without ever leaving the Designer. The “visual-first” approach that Webflow is known for just got even better, allowing content contributors—whether in Design or Edit mode—to seamlessly manage content without the need for developer assistance.

Here’s what you can now do:

  • Edit CMS content on both static and CMS Collection pages directly on the canvas.
  • Create new CMS Collection pages without leaving the Designer.

This update is all about making your workflow smoother and more efficient. By eliminating the need to navigate between separate interfaces, you can focus on what truly matters—creating and refining on-brand, content-driven experiences.

Why This Matters

For marketers and content creators, this is a game-changer. No longer are you tied to a separate CMS interface for content updates. Everything happens in real-time, on the page where your content will live, ensuring that what you see is truly what you get.

Sojern, a travel marketing platform and one of the early beta participants, experienced an immediate efficiency boost with this update. According to Laura Barker, Senior Art Director at Sojern:

“Being able to edit dynamic content directly on canvas makes it so much easier for all collaborators to see how content fits and flows on a page. This improvement from Webflow means our marketing team can now ship and iterate faster and feel more empowered to create new landing pages on their own.”

Nexus Commerce's Take

At Nexus Commerce, we see this as a significant step forward in empowering teams to create and manage their web content more independently. Whether you’re launching new landing pages, iterating on existing designs, or simply managing your content more efficiently, this update from Webflow ensures that your team can do it all with ease.

As a Webflow-specialized agency, we’re excited to help our clients leverage this powerful new feature. If you’re looking to streamline your content creation process, enhance your digital presence, or simply get more out of your Webflow experience, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
