Grid mode

Grid turns tabular content into a spreadsheet on the canvas: rows and columns, range selection, copy and paste, and a single Save that writes every pending change at once. Reach for it when editing entries one file at a time is too slow — renaming a category across fifty posts, or fixing prices in a product sheet.

Open a grid

• A CSV file — open it from Files (or Quick Access); spreadsheet files open straight into Grid.

• A content collection — right-click the collection's folder in Files and choose Edit Collection in Grid .

• All pages — right-click the pages folder and choose Edit Pages in Grid .

• From Project settings — the Open Data Grid button in the data sections opens a picker that lists pages, every collection, and connected database tables in one place.

Edit cells

Double-click a cell to edit it. Columns are typed, so each kind gets the right control:

• Text and number cells — type; number cells clean up currency symbols and commas for you.

• On/off cells — a checkbox; choice cells — a dropdown; date cells — a date field.

• List cells — chips: Enter or a comma adds one, Backspace removes the last, and each chip has its own remove button.

• Image cells open the media picker, and relationship cells — a field that points at another collection — open a picker of that collection's entries.

Edited cells are highlighted, and nothing touches your files yet — everything waits for Save . Undo and redo ( ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z ) work on grid edits like anywhere else.

Work in ranges

• Drag across cells to select a range. Copy and paste work on ranges — including pasting rows copied from a real spreadsheet.

• Delete or Backspace clears the selected cells, as one undoable step.

• Fill Down copies the range's first row into every row below it ( ⌘D / Ctrl+D ).

• Replace opens find & replace across all text cells; Replace All buffers the whole replacement as one undoable change — save to apply it.

• Filter rows searches across every column; each column header also has its own filter box and click-to-sort.

• Drag column headers to reorder them and drag their edges to resize — each grid remembers its column layout.

Add and remove rows

• Add Row appends a pending row. In a collection or pages grid, fill in its Path cell — the file the new entry will become.

• Delete Rows marks the selected rows for deletion; they're removed when you save, after a confirmation.

• Added and marked rows are tinted until you save.

Save — one batch

Nothing writes until you click Save — the button counts your pending changes ( ⌘S / Ctrl+S does the same). On save, Studio checks required cells, confirms any deletions, writes everything, and reports what saved. If a change can't be written, that cell stays pending with the reason attached — fix it and save again.

Studio also protects you from crossed wires:

• A row whose file is open in a tab with unsaved changes won't save — save or close that tab first.

• If a file changed on disk after the grid loaded (a teammate's edit, for example), its row is marked stale and skipped rather than overwritten. Refresh reloads from disk — asking first if you have pending edits.

Collection and pages grids

A collection grid shows one row per entry file and one column per field of the collection's content type, plus any extra fields found in the entries — the Path column stays pinned at the left. The pages grid does the same for every Markdown page under pages/ , with title and description first. Editing a cell edits that entry's frontmatter ; collections themselves are defined in Content types .

CSV grids

A CSV file opens as a grid tab with Code as its raw-text alternate, and saves as one atomic step: if the file changed on disk underneath you, the save stops instead of overwriting it. Only the cells you actually edited are rewritten — untouched cells keep their exact original text, so a one-cell fix produces a one-cell diff.
