# Using the Editor

> Guide for content editors on managing pages and blocks in Primo.

This guide is for content editors who create and manage pages in Primo. You'll learn how to create pages, add blocks, edit content, and publish your work.

## The Editor Interface

The Primo editor has three main areas:

1. **Sidebar** - Draggable blocks and library
2. **Canvas** - Visual page editor
3. **Toolbar** - Site navigation, Pages, and Publish button
