Select to edit

Quickly target any element in your live preview for focused edits—no manual selector hunting required.


How It Works

1

Activate Select to Edit

Click the 🎯 “Select to Edit” icon in the prompt box toolbar.

2

Pick an Element

Click the element in the preview pane you want to modify. Maker highlights it and inserts a reference placeholder (e.g. [selected element]) into the prompt.

3

Write Your Prompt

Describe the change you’d like to make to that element. For example: Change the selected element’s background to a glassmorphism blur and set its border-radius to 12px.

4

Run & Apply

Press Enter (or click on the arrow). Maker updates only that element’s code, leaving the rest of your project untouched.

Tips & Best Practices

  • One element at a time: activate Select to Edit for each distinct change.

  • Chaining edits: after one change, re-activate and select another element to continue refining.

  • Undo & History: if you mis-select, cancel the prompt, or revert via the Version History panel found in the "Publish" drop-down.
