To ensure that your content items are well-organized and easy to customize, use the following structure for content placement:

To make changes to your item in Editor:
1. Drag the required component from the elements panel onto the layout.
Possible component placements are highlighted as you're hovering the component over the layout.
2. Place the component on the layout.

The item autosave in Editor reduces the risk of data loss when you leave the page before submitting your editing changes. With this feature, automatic saving of your changes in the item under editing occurs at regular intervals.

The following events trigger the autosave:

Also, you can apply your editing changes manually with the SAVE button on the modes panel. The manual save and session interruption leads to the item version patching.
