• Locate the Text Block: Scroll through your page to find the text block you wish to edit. Squarespace organizes content into blocks, and text blocks are the specific areas containing text.
• Tap on the Text Block: Tap on the text block to activate the text editor.

6. Edit Text

• Modify Text: You’ll see a blinking cursor, indicating you can now type or delete text. Make the necessary changes to your text.

7. Save Changes

• Save: After making your edits, look for a “Save” or “Done” button (often displayed as a checkmark or confirmation icon) to apply the changes.

Additional Considerations:

• Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection to prevent any loss of data while making edits.
• Backup: Consider having a backup of your text or content in another document if your edits are substantial.
• Preview: Always preview the changes before making them live to ensure everything appears as desired, especially for significant content edits.
• Style and Branding: Keep consistency with your website’s overall style and branding when making text edits. Use predefined heading styles and follow the formatting guidelines you’ve established for your site.

Limitations:

• App Functionality: While the Squarespace app supports many editing functions, some advanced features available on the desktop version may not be available in the mobile app.
• Device Compatibility: Ensure your mobile device meets the minimum requirements for running the Squarespace app for the smoothest experience.

By following these steps and keeping considerations in mind, you should be able to efficiently edit text on your Squarespace website using the app. Whether you’re performing a minor update or a major overhaul, the app’s intuitive interface makes the process accessible for users of all technical levels.
