In-Browser Editing makes it easy to update your site’s content from a web browser. Whether you need to make a change to your website on the go, or you want to allow clients and other site contributors the ability to easily edit their content, In-Browser Editing can make the process go smoothly.
In-Browser Editing allows you to edit text content and replace all images, except the following items:
Although text content is editable, the formatting of that text cannot be changed. Images can only be replaced, not added or removed.
Before you begin, ensure that your site has In-Browser Editing enabled in the Site Properties window.
Click FIle > Site Properties. Click the Advanced tab and ensure that the Enable In-Browser Editing option is enabled.
Upload your site to an FTP Host.
Use the built-in Upload to FTP Host feature in Adobe Muse by choosing File > Upload to FTP Host. For instructions, see Uploading to FTP Host.

Read on to know how you can edit the content of an Adobe Muse website using In-Browser Editing.
Visit https://inbrowserediting.adobe.com and enter the domain name (URL) of the site that you want to edit.
It is recommended that you access the In-Browser Editing site via HTTPS protocol only (and not HTTP). This ensures that you provide credentials, log in, and use In-Browser Editing to modify your websites through a secured connection.
Login using your hosting credentials.
Once you’re signed in, you’ll see the site’s home page as well as the In-Browser Editing navigation bar on top.

You can easily edit text right on the browser using In-Browser Editing. After you log in to In-Browser Editing, simply select the text that you want to delete, and start typing your new text.
When you're done, you can immediately see how your changes appear on the same browser. If your site is responsive, preview the changes at all the breakpoints. If your site was created using alternate layouts, preview the change for each of the devices.
Click the image that you want to edit, or click the text frame and then the image within that you want to edit.
Click Edit Image.
From the pop-up box that opens, choose an existing file that is associated with your site. Else, you can upload an image from your computer by click Upload Photo.
This dialog also gives you the option to add or edit tooltip text associated with the image.
Click after selecting your photo.
The old image is replaced with the image that you chose.
When you replace an image, the new image that you select will be sized to fit the area that the previous image took up. If the new image has a different aspect ratio than the original image, it will not fill the entire area of the previous image. This may affect the visual layout of your page. For this reason, it is recommended that you only replace an existing image with another image of the same dimensions or a larger image with the same width and height ratio.
If your site resolution is set to HiDPI, and the replacement image holds enough data to be 2x, then In-Browser Editing will save both 1x and 2x versions of the image to display on HiDPI screens. To learn more about creating assets for HiDPI visit Creating HiDPI Websites in Muse.

As you work on your edits using In-Browser Editing, you can preview your changes on the browser. It is important for you to preview your changes before you Publish your changes.
If your site was created using responsive layout, you can preview your changes using the drop-down list for breakpoints.
You can select each breakpoint and preview your changes at that breakpoint. This is how your updated layout will appear at the corresponding browser widths.
On the other hand, if the site was created using alternate layouts, you can preview your changes using the device drop-down list. From the drop-down list, select the device for which you want to preview your changes.
After you are sure of all your changes, go ahead and click Publish on the top navigation bar to commit the changes, and view them on your live site. If you are not satisfied with the changes you’ve made, you can always discard the changes. This will reset your site’s content to what it was the last time you published.
After changes are made to the live site using In-Browser Editing, your local .muse file no longer contains the same content as the live site.
Follow these steps to sync your In-Browser Editing changes with your Muse File.
Launch Adobe Muse and open the site’s .muse file.
An alert message indicating that the live site has changed appears. Click Review to bring up the Review and Merge Changes window.
The Review and Merge Changes interface highlights and allows you to review each change. New content is highlighted in green, and items that have been deleted are marked in red. To compare the live site’s changes to the local .muse file, enable and disable the Preview on Page check box.
Use the drop-down list options (Don’t Merge or Merge into Muse) to decline or accept the specific change or all changes.
If you choose Don’t Merge, you will overwrite the changes applied to the live site the next time you upload the .muse file.
