Editing Text Content

Updating text is the most common editing task you’ll do in BeaverBuilder. Whether it’s a headline, a paragraph, or a caption, the process is the same.

How to Edit a Text or Heading Module

1. Open the page in BeaverBuilder (go to the live page and click Edit with Beaver Builder in the top admin bar).
2. Hover over the text block you want to edit. A blue outline appears around the module.
3. Click the pencil icon (✎) that appears on the module. The settings panel opens on the left side of the screen.
4. Click into the text editor area in the panel and make your changes.
5. When finished, click Save at the bottom of the settings panel.
6. Repeat for any other text areas you need to update.
7. When all your edits are done, click Done > Publish to make changes live, or Done > Save Draft to save without publishing.

Things to Change vs. Things to Leave Alone

Safe to change:

• The actual words — edit freely
• Punctuation and spelling
• Adding or removing bullet points within an existing list

Leave these alone:

• Font size, font family, or line height — these are set by the design
• Text color — changing this can break the design
• Heading level (H1, H2, H3) — these affect page structure and SEO
• CSS classes on the module

Pasting Text from Word or Google Docs

If you paste text directly from Microsoft Word or Google Docs, hidden formatting can come along with it — different fonts, sizes, or spacing that clash with the site’s design.

To avoid this, paste using Ctrl+Shift+V (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+V (Mac) to paste as plain text. Alternatively, use the “Paste as Text” button (the clipboard icon with a “T”) in the BeaverBuilder text editor toolbar.

💡 Tip: Module-level Save and page-level Publish are two separate steps. Clicking Save inside the settings panel only saves that one module temporarily. You still need to click Done > Publish (or Done > Save Draft) to save the whole page.
