This guide is for content editors using an Inka-powered site. It covers how to use the editor — how to select things, edit text, add and move blocks, work with containers and templates — without assuming you know how the site was built.

Templates allow editors to centrally control content and reuse content. They allow a developer to not have to hard code layout decisions and instead use rules to apply user layouts in template content stored separately from the page, or give the user a choice on which layout they want.

Inka works with any frontend, including ones that have no client-side

To make your site editable with Inka you load hydra.js in your frontend and call initBridge(). This sets up a two-way communication channel that handles authentication, page navigation, and live content updates.

A listing block fetches content from the server (e.g. latest news) and renders each result as a separate block, repeating each block once per result entry. This means a listing can be moved between containers and reuse normal blocks for what it repeats.
