Betcha didn’t know they finally released a mobile site-editor app, did ya?

It happened in early 2019 with a beta release I got to be part of. I got to submit feedback & help them work out some bugs and now it’s available for the public.

FINALLY.

Now, let’s talk about what you can/can’t do with it.

Where can I get it??

The app for iOS is already available, and the word is that the Android version is currently in Beta, so it should be released soon. Download links are below (these are not aff-links)!

What can I do with it?

DO USE IT TO:

  • Updating pages or correcting mistakes when you’re away from your computer

  • Saving time by adding new images to galleries and blocks directly from your device

  • Writing and editing new blog posts

  • Reviewing recently updated pages and traffic analytics

  • Create a new site

  • Add and edit blank Layout pages

  • Add new folders and external navigation links

  • Add and edit Blog Pages and individual blog posts

  • Add and edit Events Pages and individual events

  • Add and edit most sections

  • Add, edit, and rearrange most blocks

  • Make style changes

    • Add Gallery and Index Pages (version 7.0 only)

    • Create and send Squarespace Email Campaigns

    • Add, edit, and manage products


CAN’T USE IT TO:

(As of Nov. 2020)

  • Edit Album, Cover, Info, Portfolio, or Project Pages

  • Edit footers

  • Update Billing settings or view invoices

  • Access some site settings, including Domains and Template

  • edit Squarespace 5 sites; they’re not supported in the app

The app is meant for users who are already familiar with Squarespace, so it’ll be easiest to use for people who already have a Squarespace site & are used to using the platform.

In fact, the app doesn’t include support for several things you might expect, but those features are being planned & will be included in future updates, per Squarespace’s site (👈🏻 check that link for the latest updates/info for the app).

Anything you can’t do in the app is still available on desktop as normal, of course.
