In SEEEMS.CMS you can navigate the website and manage content in the same interface. This allows you to navigate to any content on your page using the website's normal navigation and then select the object you want to edit. All this can be done directly on the website with Front Edit Panel enabled.

Selecting an object

To select an object in order to edit it, either use long click with your mouse or hover and press Shift key on a PC or laptop, or long touch it with your finger on a touch device. This will trigger edit mode and you will see that the object is selected. This is indicated by the object's background being highlighted in light blue color, showing the object's ID and the edit mode tools.

In SEEEMS.CMS every single content object has a unique ID. This ID is applied when you create a new object and the object will always keep this ID. This allows you and the system to identify every single object in your website. You can see the ID of every content object when navigating the site in FrontEnd. When an object is selected a label appears above the highlighted area which shows the object's ID.
