Guide: Editing Content as a Team Member
When someone invites you to their PageGun project, you can read and edit the project's content — articles, pages, and docs — right from the PageGun dashboard. This guide walks through accepting an invite, opening the editor, making changes (including adding links), and saving your work.
Prerequisites
- An invitation to a PageGun project (an invitation code or link from the project owner)
- A PageGun account — sign up free at pagegun.com
Note
Make sure you log in with the same email address the invitation was sent to. If you sign in with a different account, the shared project will not appear.
Accepting an Invitation
Redeem your invitation
Open the invitation link you received, or enter the invitation code when prompted after signing in.
Find the shared project
Go to your dashboard. Shared projects appear in the Invited section below your own projects, labeled "Shared with you via invitation codes". Click the project card to open it.
Editing an Article
Open the Articles list
In the project sidebar, click Articles. You'll see every article in the project with its status (Draft or Published).
Open the editor
Click an article's title (or the pencil icon) to open the editor. You can change the title, description, cover image, categories, author, and the article body.
Edit the content
The Content field uses Markdown — plain text with lightweight formatting. Type your changes directly; the live preview on the right updates as you write.
Save
Click Save in the top bar. If the article's status is Published, your changes go live automatically within a minute — no separate publish step needed.
Markdown Cheat Sheet
The formatting you'll use most often:
| You want | You type |
|---|---|
| A link | [link text](https://example.com) |
| Bold | **bold text** |
| Italic | *italic text* |
| A heading | ## Heading text |
| A bullet list | - item (one per line) |
| An image |  |
Adding a Link
To turn text into a hyperlink, wrap the visible text in square brackets and put the URL in parentheses right after it — no space in between:
Check out [our product](https://example.com) to learn more.This renders as: Check out our product to learn more.
Warning
A common mistake is pasting a bare URL next to the text, or leaving a space between ] and (. The pattern is always [text](url) — brackets first, parentheses second, touching.
Draft vs. Published
The Status dropdown in the editor's top bar controls visibility:
- Draft — the article is only visible in the dashboard.
- Published — the article is live on the site. Saving an already-published article republishes it with your changes.
Troubleshooting
- The shared project doesn't appear on my dashboard. You're likely signed in with a different email than the one that redeemed the invitation. Sign out and back in with the invited account, or ask the owner for a new invitation code.
- My changes aren't showing on the live site. Published pages are cached briefly. Wait about a minute and refresh. Confirm the article's status is Published, not Draft.
- I can't delete an article. Deleting content is reserved for the project owner. Ask them to remove it, or set it to Draft to unpublish it.
