Edit Articles from Frontend Site

Feature Discussion
#1

I’m looking for a way to be able to easily switchover to the administrative interface to edit an article while viewing it from the main site/frontend. For example, if I’m on https://docs.company.tld/documentation/article – I’d like to be able to get to the https://app.developerhub.io/project/… link in order to modify the article easily, without opening the link in another tab manually.

Of course, this should only be displayed for logged-in users – if feasible.

Here’s an example of how this is implemented with something like Zendesk Guide.

Hey Matthew.

This is a great addition, and I’m surprised that you’re the first one to ask for it after 3 years of operation.

The problem at this point is that we don’t really serve ANY cookies on your documentation site. If we are to let your documentation site know that you are an admin, and can edit this page, then we would have to create a cookie on your documentation site.

This cookie would only be generated on sites that you own for your users (so your readers would not have it).

I’ll get this tasked, and I will let you know here when this is possible.
