Why is my text block no longer editable after saving?

Fixing uneditable text caused by pasted formatting

If a text block becomes uneditable in the Studio Page Builder after saving and returning to it, it's likely due to pasted formatting from external sources like Google Docs or websites.

Studio only supports plain text editing. If styled text is pasted in, the builder may no longer recognize it as editable content.


🧾 How to Avoid This in the Future

  • On Windows, use Ctrl + Shift + V to paste without formatting
  • On Mac, use Command + Shift + Option + V to paste plain text
  • Or copy text into a .txt file (e.g., using Notepad), then paste from there into Studio

🛠️ How to Fix the Problem

Option 1: Replace the Section (Beginner-Friendly)

  1. Go to the Layouts or Widgets panel
  2. Re-add the same section type to your page
  3. Re-enter your content manually — using plain text only
  4. Delete the original (uneditable) section

Option 2: Fix with Code (Advanced Users)

If you're comfortable with HTML:

  1. Click the <> (code) button in the uneditable section
  2. Locate your text inside a <p> tag
  3. Add this attribute to the <p> tag:
    builder-element="TextElement"
    Example: <p builder-element="">Your text here</p>
  4. Click Save to confirm your changes
  5. Your text block should now be editable again in the visual editor
