The Short Answer: Yes
Strapi fully supports Vercel's Visual Editing feature. The integration aims to streamline your content creation and editing process, offering real-time visualization and editing capabilities right on your website's frontend. Strapi has developed a specific plugin, @strapi/plugin-content-source-map, to facilitate this feature. The Content Source Map Plugin is exclusively available to our Enterprise and Custom Cloud customers.
What Does This Mean for You?
Intuitive Visual Interface
Instead of toggling back and forth between your content and how it looks on the website, you can now edit directly on the frontend. When you hover over a piece of content, you can click to edit it instantly.
Real-time Changes
With this integration, what you see is what you edit. This eliminates any guesswork and allows you to see how your changes will look in real-time.
WYSIWYG Experience
What You See Is What You Get. You get a live preview of how your content will appear once published, enabling you to make more accurate and effective changes.
Efficient Workflow
The feature aims to reduce the back-and-forth communication usually required during the editing process. As a result, content creation and modifications are quicker and more effective.
