# Online CMS Editor

The Elements CMS Admin is a complete browser-based interface for managing your site’s content. It’s designed to be fast, simple, and focused, giving you everything you need to edit and organise content without getting in the way.

Built around Markdown, the admin lets you create, edit, and manage your content in a clean, structured environment that mirrors how your site is put together in Elements.

For smaller websites, you can get started for free. You can edit a single collection of Markdown content and upload files directly through the admin, making it ideal for blogs and small websites.

When your needs grow, the pro version unlocks support for multiple collections, more advanced content structures, and the flexibility required for larger client projects.

#### Important note about content sync

If you add or edit Markdown files online (outside of Elements), you need to remember these changes will not be synced back down to Elements, they only exist on your server.

We’d like to add support for syncing server content back into Elements in the future, but for now, keep in mind that the app only pushes data out, it doesn’t pull it back in.

In summary, this means:

* They won’t show up in the CMS folder inside Elements.
* You won’t be able to edit or manage them in the app.
* Republishing your site from Elements may overwrite changes made online.
