OpenCms is operated through a web browser. The editor works in OpenCms directly on the displayed website. Any necessary dialogs are displayed dynamically.
The contents of a page can be created simply by drag & drop. Texts can then be edited directly on the website using inline editing. A seamless switch to a form-based editor for the same content is possible at any time.
The structure of an OpenCms website is managed using the sitemap editor, which allows new pages to be created or existing pages to be rearranged in the navigation.
Images or documents are stored in galleries and can be reused as required. OpenCms also offers a special backend (Workplace) for administrative tasks such as user or module management.
