How Content Design System Manager (CDSM) and Editor are connected
Editor can work:
- Inside some CMS. If it is integrated with your site. There are plugins for popular CMS: WordPress, Drupal, Magento, 1С-Bitrix, SharePoint Online, and also a HubSpot integration. It can also be integrated with any custom CMS over API.
- In Setka Account, on our platform itself. On tiers with the Design Cloud option.
Before creating posts, you will need to configure Styles and Layout Grids, in accordance with the corporate identity. This process takes place in the CDSM, in your Setka Account. Styles and Layout Grids will become available in the Editor upon completion.
All the settings from Styles and Layout Grids sections of your Setka Account will automatically sync with the editor integrated into your CMS. Content Design System Manager (CDSM) pushes these updates to domains set in the CMS Integration section.
Does Setka Editor HTML code affect your site?
By default, the HTML code of the post is placed in a container, that is isolated from the external elements of the site. We also name the CSS classes the way that they do not match the classes of your site. Thus, Setka Editor content does not affect your site in any way.
