First, follow the usage steps outlined in the Site API Generic Edit usage.

Enabling Generic Edit as primary edit view

If you completed the steps for Generic Edit, you are ready to go.

Enabling Generic Edit as secondary edit view

In addition to the steps for Generic Edit, you should customize you link handler configuration (in your project's LinkHandlerConfigImpl) and add the following Link Handler Preprocessor:

  • io.wcm.siteapi.genericedit.handler.link.SiteApiInternalLinkInheritGenericEditSelectorLinkPreProcessor

With this activated, it is ensured that the selector .generic-edit is not lost when editors navigate to other pages in the preview mode.
