Step-by-Step Guide - Editing Text on Your Squarespace
This guide walks you through the essentials of editing text in Squarespace. From page titles and descriptions to buttons and section content, you’ll see how easy it is to keep your website fresh, professional, and aligned with your business.
1. Navigate to Your Pages
From your Squarespace dashboard, go to Pages.
Pick the page you’d like to edit (for example, your Homepage).
Pro tip: Work on a copy of your site first if you want to practice without worrying about mistakes.
2. Edit Text Blocks Directly
Hover over the text you want to change.
Click inside the block and type your new content.
This works for most headings and paragraphs.
Quick win: Updating your content regularly keeps your site current and shows clients you’re active.
3. Update Buttons
For buttons, you’ll need to click the Edit icon (pencil) instead of typing directly.
You can also double-click to open the settings and change the button text.
Change the label text (what the button says).
Update the link so it points to the right page or section.
💡 Keep button text short and action-oriented → e.g. Book Now, Learn More, Get Started.
4. Edit Section Titles & Descriptions
Sometimes you can’t click directly into the text. No problem!
Look for Edit Content in the top-right of the section.
Open the content panel.
Update the title (the large heading) and the description (longer supporting text).
👉 This is especially common for “Reviews” or “Services” sections where text is structured in blocks.
5. Common Section Types
Here’s what you’ll see most often:
Title + description + button → each field is edited separately.
Item lists (like services or features) → go to Edit Content → Items and update each entry’s title + body text.
6. Don’t Forget to Save!
This is the most important step
After editing your text, click Save (bottom right).
If you keep working without saving, your changes won’t stick.
Make it a habit: edit → save → continue editing.
👉 Please, please, please don’t forget this step.
I’ve seen too many clients lose their updates because they got carried away!
7. Recap
Click directly into text blocks where possible.
Use the Edit icon for buttons.
Use the Edit Content panel for structured sections.
Always hit Save after making changes!
The more you update your text, the more your site reflects who you are right now… not who you were months ago.
Tips
Keep your text clear and client-focused → make it easy for visitors to know what you do and how you can help.
Do a quick text review every quarter to keep your site relevant.
Don’t stress: you can always undo or re-edit. Squarespace is flexible!
SAVE, SAVE, SAVE before leaving the page!
