WebEdit
WebEdit has been developed as a supplement to the FirstSpirit JavaClient editing system.
The aim is to make working with FirstSpirit as easy as possible for editors and to enable them to maintain existing editorial content and to create new content in a short time. Unlike in FirstSpirit JavaClient, to do this the editor works directly in the preview of the project in the browser and therefore immediately sees the effects of their changes on the website.
In order to keep use and user prompting as simple and understandable as possible, the WebEdit concept intends for the editor to only be displayed the function and content they actually need at the present time. Functions which are not relevant for daily editorial work are therefore not included in WebEdit. A further aim of WebEdit is to provide the editor with a view of the website they are currently working on with as few disrupting controls and pop-up windows as possible.

- Template development: This chapter points out the options with which template developers can adjust the function and design of WebEdit to the requirements of the respective project and the editors.
