System settings - Editor

In the system settings, various general settings for editing can be made via the 'Editor' tab, which apply across all presences

'Show pause button in menu bar':

If this parameter is activated, the pause button is displayed in the menu bar next to the save buttons.

'Unlock when pausing':

If this parameter is activated, the file lock is released when editing is ended with the pause button. If this setting is deactivated, a working copy is locked when paused. Locked files cannot be edited by other maintenance users.

'Compress output in editor':

If this parameter is activated, the output is compressed within file editing.

'Weblic administration can be called up via the structure editor':

If this parameter is activated, a button to call up the Weblic administration ("Install Weblics") appears for administrators within the layer of a structure element. This means that additional Weblics^® can be installed quickly and easily directly via file editing.

'Check links when saving':

If this parameter is activated, all links (src, href) in a page are checked when saving. If a link is not accessible, a corresponding message is displayed.

'Hide buttons in translation window':

If this parameter is activated, the edit buttons in the left-hand translation window are hidden in split screen mode during editing.

'Start image editing with metadata mask':

If this parameter is activated, the draft tab with the metadata mask opens directly when editing a checked-in image file. Here you can enter the title, description, etc. for the image, among other things.
If this parameter is deactivated, editing starts directly in the "Image editing" tab.

'Show preview in editor on mouseover':

If this parameter is activated, the preview is displayed in the editing process on mouseover via the "Preview" tab.
If this parameter is deactivated, the preview is only opened when the "Preview" tab is clicked.
(available from CMS version 016.001.007.000)

'Close configuration masks when clicked next to':

If this parameter is activated, configuration masks also close when clicking outside the mask.
This setting only applies to the current BASE project basis. The option should be deactivated for older projects with BASE Classic as the basis, as otherwise the editing masks for Weblics^® / elements may no longer open (e.g. editing image elements).

'Element display during selection':

You can use the selection box to specify how the element display of the structure editor is to be displayed during selection.

• As large symbols
  The display lists the insertable structure elements with large symbols and the title of the element.
  
• As a list
  The display lists the insertable structure elements one below the other as a list (standard up to version 19).
  

'Interval in seconds for automatic saving in the editor':

In this field, you can optionally enter the number of seconds at which the editor creates temporary backup copies during page editing.
The backups are stored in the temporary directory of the software and can only be restored during page editing. They can be restored via the edit icon at the top right of the editing screen.

'Limit versions to the following number':

In this field, you can optionally enter the number of backup copies that are stored as file versions when saving a file. These older editing statuses can be restored via the versioning module.
This field only appears if you have a licensed versioning Core add-on module! Without a license, only the last file version is created when saving.
