User Manual
A friendly, click-by-click guide for editors and admins. No code required — just point, click, and publish.
Welcome to DM Editors
DM Editors is your content control panel. You use it to add and edit the words, pictures, and pages that appear on your website or app. Developers connect it to your frontend with an API; you stay in the admin and focus on the content.

A note on screenshots
Throughout this manual you'll see placeholder boxes where screenshots should go. To replace one with a real image, drop the file in
assets/screenshots/ and update the page's <figure> tag. See assets/screenshots/README.txt for the exact pattern.
