| 1 | There are two types of users in XWiki, [[Simple and Advanced users>>extensions:Extension.User Module.User Profile Application.UserTypes.WebHome]]. Depending on the type a user has, the editing capabilities are different. | ||

| 9 | Clicking on the "Edit" button has the following behavior for a Simple user: | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | * If the page is displayed by a [[sheet>>extensions:Extension.Sheet Module]] (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. | ||
| 12 | * If the page is a plain wiki page (i.e., doesn't use a sheet): | ||
| 13 | ** If WYSIWYG is the defined editor //and// the page syntax supports it, editing happens [[in-place>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HIn-placeediting"]]. | ||
| 14 | ** Otherwise, editing defaults to the [[Wiki edit mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HWikieditingmode"]]. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | {{id name="HAdvancedMode"/}} | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | == Advanced user == | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | The Advanced user type provides access to all editing modes, intended for users familiar with XWiki internals and programming features. After switching to the Advanced type from the [[User Profile>>extensions:Extension.User Module.User Profile Application.WebHome]] page, the "Edit" button reveals a dropdown with the following options: | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | * [[Wiki>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HWikiediting"]]: Edit raw wiki content. | ||
| 23 | * [[Form Editing Mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HFormeditingmode28akainlinemode29"]]: Edit page content via a form (when a sheet is available). | ||
| 24 | * [[Object Editing Mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HObjectseditingmode"]]: Edit objects attached to the page. | ||
| 25 | * [[Class Editing Mode>>Documentation.UserGuide.Features.PageEditing.WebHome||anchor="HClasseseditingmode"]]: Edit the class definition associated with the page. | ||
| 26 | * [[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). | ||
