| 1 | XWiki supports two editing profiles—**Simple** and **Advanced**—to accommodate different user needs. By default, new users are assigned the Simple profile, but this can be changed from the [[User Profile>>extensions:Extension.User Module.User Profile Application.WebHome]] (accessible via the top-right menu when logged in). | ||

| 6 | |||
| 7 | Clicking on the "Edit" button has the following behavior for a "Simple" user: | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | * If the page is displayed by a sheet (e.g., has an associated object with a sheet), then the page is edited in [[Inline form>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HFormeditingmode28akainlinemode29"]] edit mode. | ||
| 10 | * If the page is a plain wiki page (i.e., doesn't use a sheet): | ||
| 11 | ** If WYSIWYG is the preferred editor //and// the page syntax supports it, editing happens [[in-place>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HIn-placeediting"]]. | ||
| 12 | ** Otherwise, editing defaults to [[Wiki edit mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HWikieditingmode"]]. | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | {{id name="HAdvancedMode"/}} | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | == Advanced user == | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | The Advanced profile provides access to all editing modes, intended for users familiar with XWiki internals and programming features. After switching to the Advanced profile from the [[User Profile>>extensions:Extension.User Module.User Profile Application.WebHome]] page, the **Edit** button reveals a dropdown with the following options: | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | * Wiki: Edit raw wiki content. | ||
| 21 | * [[Form Editing Mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HFormeditingmode28akainlinemode29"]]: Edit page content via form when a sheet is available. | ||
| 22 | * [[Object Editing Mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HObjectseditingmode"]]: Edit objects attached to the page. | ||
| 23 | * [[Class Editing Mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HClasseseditingmode"]]: Edit the class definition of the page. | ||
| 24 | * [[Access Rights Editing Mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HAccessRightseditingmode"]]: Available for [[Terminal pages>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.ContentOrganization||anchor="HTerminology"]] only. For [[Nested Pages>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.ContentOrganization||anchor="HTerminology"]], use **Administer Page** under **More Actions** (three-dot menu). | ||
