# Modify Content

Editing existing content is a routine task for content editors. Varbase provides straightforward tools for finding and modifying content items, along with revision tracking to maintain a full history of changes.

## Finding Content to Edit

There are several ways to locate the content you want to edit:

### From the Content Listing

1. Navigate to **Content** in the admin navigation sidebar, or go to `/admin/content`.
2. Use the filters at the top of the listing to narrow your search:
   * **Title**: Search by content title.
   * **Content type**: Filter by a specific content type.
   * **Published status**: Filter by published or unpublished content.
   * **Language**: Filter by language (on multilingual sites).
3. Locate the content item in the list.
4. Click **Edit** in the operations column for that item.

### From the Front End

1. Navigate to the content page on the front end of the site.
2. If you are logged in with editing permissions, you will see an **Edit** tab or button on the page.
3. Click **Edit** to open the content editing form.

### Using Coffee

1. Press **Alt+D** to open the Coffee search box.
2. Type the title of the content you want to edit.
3. Select the content item from the results to navigate to its edit form.

## Editing Content

Once you have opened the edit form:

1. Modify the fields as needed (title, body, media, taxonomy terms, etc.).
2. Optionally enter a **Revision log message** describing your changes. This is helpful for other editors reviewing the content history.
3. Set the appropriate **moderation state** (Draft, Published, or Archived).
4. Click **Save** to apply your changes.

## Revision Tracking

Varbase automatically creates a new revision every time content is saved. This allows you to:

* **View revision history**: Click the **Revisions** tab on a content item to see a list of all saved revisions, including the date, author, and log message for each.
* **Compare revisions**: Use the revision diff feature to compare two revisions side by side. Select two revisions and click **Compare selected revisions** to see exactly what changed between them.
* **Revert to a previous revision**: If a change was made in error, you can revert to any previous revision. Click **Revert** next to the desired revision in the revision history.

## Tips for Modifying Content

* Always review your changes using the **Preview** button before saving, especially for content that is already published.
* Use descriptive revision log messages so that other team members can understand the purpose of each edit.
* If you are making a significant change to published content, consider saving it as **Draft** first for review before publishing the updated version.
* Coordinate with other editors to avoid simultaneous editing of the same content item.
