> Create, edit, and publish content in your browser with real-time team collaboration, automatic saving, live previews, and continuous Git sync.
A step-by-step walkthrough: create a branch, make a change, share a preview, and publish.
## Open the editor
Open the editor from the [Editor](https://app.mintlify.com/editor) tab in your Mintlify dashboard. Any member of your organization can open the editor, but what you can do inside depends on your [role](/dashboard/roles). Admins and editors can edit and publish, and viewers can browse content and leave [comments](/editor/comments) or [suggestions](/editor/suggestions).
## How the editor works
**Changes save automatically.** As you type, the editor saves your work. Your changes persist across tabs, devices, and network interruptions. Changes only go live when you publish them.
**Git stays in sync.** When someone else pushes changes to your repository from outside the editor, those changes appear in the editor automatically. You don't need to pull or refresh. The editor merges non-conflicting changes and highlights anything that needs your attention.
If the editor ever appears out of sync with your repository, use [Reset editor](/editor/settings#reset-editor) to force a resync from Git. For example, the file tree is empty or shows `Unable to find docs.json` even though the file is present on your deployment branch.
**Publishing writes to Git.** When you publish, the editor commits your changes to your repository. On a deployment branch, this updates your live site immediately. On a feature branch, it creates a pull request.
**Your team edits together.** Multiple people can edit the same page simultaneously. Live cursors show who is editing and where.
## The editor layout
* **Top bar**: Use the top bar to control what branch you work on, access the agent, preview, and publish changes.
* **Navigation sidebar**: Select a page to edit, create new pages, and manage the site structure.
