Edit fields
The detail sheet opens with all collection fields. Change values as needed. See Field types.
Item sheet layout
The detail sheet header includes:
- Back to items (chevron) — close the sheet and return to the table
- Item name and publish state indicator (Live or Draft)
The main area lists all fields from your collection schema with appropriate editors for each field type.
The sidebar panel (within the sheet) contains the primary actions:
- Save — save changes as draft. See Save changes.
- Publish — publish the item live. See Publish an item.
- ⋮ action menu (next to Publish) — duplicate, reload, queue, restore live, archive, delete, and Open in Webflow
Keep editing while navigating
The item sheet stays open when you:
- Switch collections in the sidebar
- Switch locales on multi-locale sites
Wicked CMS updates the sheet to reflect the item in the new context. If you switch locales with unsaved changes, Wicked CMS first prompts you to keep editing or discard them.
Changed fields
Fields that differ from the live (published) version are highlighted with a blue label. You can reset individual fields to their live values.
Close the sheet
Click Back to items or click outside the sheet. If you have unsaved changes, Wicked CMS prompts you to keep editing or discard changes.
