Editing Articles
Use Casper's powerful rich text editor to refine, format, and optimize your articles before publishing.
Overview
Every article generated by Casper can be edited using our built-in rich text editor. The editor provides full control over formatting, content structure, images, links, and SEO optimization.
You can make changes at any time—before publishing, after publishing, or when republishing to different platforms.
Using the Rich Text Editor
Basic Formatting
The editor supports standard text formatting options:
- Bold and italic text
- Headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
- Bulleted and numbered lists
- Text alignment (left, center, right, justify)
- Blockquotes for highlighting important content
- Code blocks for technical content
Adding Images
To add images to your article:
- Place your cursor where you want the image
- Click the image button in the toolbar
- Upload an image or search Unsplash for free stock photos
- Add alt text for accessibility and SEO
- Adjust image size and alignment as needed
Adding Links
To add links:
- Select the text you want to link
- Click the link button in the toolbar
- Enter the URL or search for internal links
- Choose whether to open in a new tab
Tip: Casper can automatically suggest internal links to other articles in your organization.
SEO Optimization While Editing
Live SEO Score
The editor displays a live SEO score that updates as you edit. This score considers factors like keyword usage, heading structure, content length, and internal linking.
SEO Suggestions
Casper provides suggestions for improving your SEO score, such as:
- Adding more headings for better structure
- Including the target keyword in headings
- Adding internal links to related articles
- Optimizing meta descriptions
Meta Information
Edit the article's title, slug, and meta description directly in the editor. These fields are optimized for SEO and can be customized for each publishing platform.
Saving and Version Control
Saving Your Work
Click the "Save" button to save your changes to the article. Your work is automatically saved to your browser's local storage as you type, so if you accidentally navigate away, you can restore your changes when you return. However, you must click "Save" to permanently save changes to the article.
Unsaved Changes
If you have unsaved changes, you'll see a warning before navigating away or publishing. Make sure to click "Save" before publishing to ensure all your edits are saved.
Editing Published Articles
You can edit articles even after they've been published. Changes made in Casper won't automatically update published articles—you'll need to republish if you want to update the published version.
Best Practices
Review Before Publishing
Always review AI-generated content before publishing. While Casper creates high-quality content, adding your unique perspective and voice makes it even better.
Maintain Consistent Formatting
Use consistent heading styles, list formatting, and spacing throughout your article. This improves readability and user experience.
Optimize Images
Always add descriptive alt text to images. This improves accessibility and helps with SEO. Use relevant, high-quality images that enhance your content.
Check SEO Score
Before publishing, review your SEO score and address any suggestions. A higher SEO score typically means better search engine visibility.
