How Do I Edit a Text Box in Squarespace?

Last updated on December 25, 2022 @ 1:17 pm

There are two ways to edit text boxes in Squarespace. The first is to click on the pencil icon that appears when you hover over the text box.

This will open up the inline editor where you can make changes to the text. The second way is to click on the ‘edit’ link that appears in the sidebar when you are in the edit mode of your site. This will take you to the page editor where you can make changes to the text box and other aspects of the page.

To style text in HTML using <p>, <b> and <u> tags, you need to use the ‘style’ attribute. For example, to make a piece of text bold, you would use the ‘b’ tag like this:

This text is bold

To make a piece of text italic, you would use the ‘i’ tag like this:

This text is italic

To underline a piece of text, you would use the ‘u’ tag like this:

This text is underlined

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when editing a text box in Squarespace, you could unintentionally delete or change important text. Make sure to save a backup copy of your text before editing.
