My number one Squarespace tip
Today I wanted to share with you my number one Squarespace tip! I’m not sure many people are aware of this feature, and even though I’ve mentioned it a few times in other posts now, I thought it was so useful it deserved a post all of its own.
What is it? I hear you cry.
It’s the Squarespace search back-end search facility!
What a mouthful 😆
Let me explain…
How to find things quickly in the back-end of Squarespace
There is a brilliant shortcut to finding ANYTHING in the back end of Squarespace.
It’s become especially useful lately since Squarespace have been messing around with all the settings in the back-end navigation, and moving things about, making it sometimes hard to find what you’re looking for.
So instead, simply hit the forward slash button on your keyboard (/) and you’ll see a search box pop up on the screen.
You can type whatever it is you are looking for in the back-end into this box and the setting should appear, meaning you can bypass those confusing navigation menus altogether.
This shortcut works in both 7.0 and 7.1!
Below you can watch a super-quick video demo…
Prefer written instructions?
Here you go:
1) Log into the back-end of your Squarespace author website
2) Hit the forward slash key on your keyboard [/]
3) A pop-up search box will appear
4) Type whatever it is you are looking for into the search box and hit return
5) You’ll be taken to that setting in the back-end!
That’s it! Hopefully you’ll find this as much of a time-saver as I did when I first discovered it.
I use it all the time to find things instead of having to hunt through the navigation menu on the left panel.
