Open and edit your website

Upkyo Studio is the online editor that lets you update your website yourself, from any computer, with nothing to install. This guide explains how to find the editor from your client area, what each part of the screen does and how to work without any risk of losing your changes.

Before you start

• You need to have ordered Upkyo Studio and created your website (see Start your website with a template).
• A computer is best: the editor runs in your browser, and a large screen makes layout work easier.
• If you forgot your Upkyo password, use the recovery link on the client area login page.

Open the editor step by step

1. Log in to your client area on upkyo.com.
2. Open My services, then Upkyo Studio.
3. Click Edit my website: the editor opens in a new tab and you are already signed in. If your website has not been created yet, the button is called Create my website.
4. Choose the page to edit in the Page shown list at the top of the screen.
5. Click a text or an image in the preview to edit it.
6. Check that the indicator at the top says Saved.
7. When everything is ready, click Publish to make your changes visible to the public.

How is the editor laid out?

The screen has four areas.

• The top bar: the page shown, the save indicator, the screen size switch (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile), the Undo and Redo buttons, Notes, Team and the Publish button.
• The toolbar on the left: each icon opens a panel. Elements, Layers, Pages and Theme are for layout. Blog, Collections, Pop-up, Languages and SEO handle content. Store, Appointments, Members and Messages cover your business. Visits, Business, Integrations and Backups hold the website settings.
• The preview in the middle: this is your website as visitors will see it. You edit text and images directly here.
• The right-hand panel: when you click a section, it shows that section's settings (layout, background, image, buttons, spacing, animation).

Are my changes saved automatically?

Yes. Studio saves every change less than a second after your last keystroke. The indicator goes from Saving… to Saved. If it says Not saved, check your internet connection and don't close the tab until the indicator shows Saved again.

Saved does not mean published: your visitors see the last published version. To put your changes online, click Publish, then Update the website. See Publish your website on your domain.

How do I undo a mistake?

• Undo (Cmd+Z on Mac, Ctrl+Z on PC) goes back one action. Redo (Cmd+Shift+Z) repeats the action you undid.
• To go back to an older version, open the Backups panel. Studio makes an automatic backup every day, kept for 30 days, plus one each time you publish. Click Restore, then Confirm. The current state is saved first: nothing is lost.

See how it looks on mobile

Click the Mobile icon at the top of the screen. Note that in mobile mode, the alignment, text size and spacing you change only apply to phones. This is handy for shortening a large headline on small screens without touching the desktop version.

Working as a team

The Team button lets you invite other people to work on the website, with a suitable role (for example, editing content only). The Notes button is for leaving review comments on a page or a section. A collaborator whose role does not include layout sees the preview without being able to change it.

What if the editor does not open?

• The message "Editor unavailable" appears: the service is not active, for example because an invoice is still due (see Pay an invoice). Your website and the editor become available again as soon as the service is active. If in doubt, open a ticket.
• A blank page or endless "Loading…": reload the tab, then try another up-to-date browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
• The new tab does not open: your browser may be blocking pop-ups. Allow them for upkyo.com.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit my website from my phone?

The editor runs in a browser, but it is designed for a computer screen. On a phone, stick to small text corrections and do the layout work on a computer.

Are my changes visible to visitors straight away?

No. They are saved in the editor, then become visible when you click Publish. This gives you time to prepare a page without visitors seeing work in progress.

I deleted a section by mistake, how do I get it back?

Click Undo right away or press Cmd+Z (Ctrl+Z on PC). If you have closed the editor since, restore an earlier version from the Backups panel.

How long are backups kept?

Studio keeps one automatic backup per day for 30 days, plus a backup each time you publish. Restoring takes two clicks in the Backups panel.
