When to edit

After generation an article is ready to publish, but you can edit it — before sending it to your site or after. Edits are saved in the dashboard and reach the site when you click “Publish” or “Update on the site”.

Opening the editor

Go to Sites → [Your site] → Articles and click an article. The article page has the Edit, SEO, Preview, Logs and Search tabs (the last one shows Yandex Webmaster data).

Article page showing four tabs: Edit, SEO, Preview, Logs

Edit tab

  • H1 heading — the main page heading (can differ from the title tag).

  • Slug (URL) — the page address on your site. Better not to change it for a published article: search engines will see a new page, and Webmaster statistics will start over.

  • Article text — paragraphs, H2 and H3 headings, lists, quotes, links, bold and italics are edited as in any editor.

Edits are saved automatically a few seconds after you stop typing — “Saved at …” appears next to the editor. Save right away with Ctrl+S, undo the last step with Ctrl+Z.

Tables, images and other blocks

Tables, images, videos, FAQ, quizzes, callouts and structured data appear in the text as grey blocks. You can drag a block elsewhere or delete it, but not change it: it goes to the site exactly as the service made it. So editing the text never breaks the layout, images or markup.

If the very end of the article shows a block “End of the article with broken markup”, the model cut its answer off midway. That piece always stays last, and the rest of the text is edited as usual.

“Write a section”

A button on the editor toolbar. Enter a query or a topic and, if you like, what to cover. The model writes a section in the article's style; you check it and insert it — after the section it suggests, where your cursor is, or at the end. Sections are free within your plan: 30 a month on Starter, 100 on Pro, 300 on Agency and 3 on the free trial.

“Improve the article”

A button in the right column. The model reads the article and the queries Yandex shows it for (when Webmaster is connected) and suggests new sections, additions to existing ones and a new Title and Description. Nothing is rewritten: you tick what to apply. An improvement costs one article; if it fails or there is nothing to change, the article goes back to your balance. How to improve an article with Yandex data — see “The article is live — what next”.

“History”

Before an edit in the editor, before an improvement and before a restore the service keeps the previous text. In History you can view any version and bring it back — the current text stays in the history too. The last 30 versions are kept.

If the article is edited in two places

If the text changed in another tab or after an improvement, the editor won't overwrite that change: it shows “The article was changed elsewhere” and offers to load the fresh version. Copy your edits first if you need them.

SEO tab

  • Title variants — 3 AI-generated title tag options. Select the best or write your own.

  • Meta description variants — 3 options. A character counter helps stay under 155 characters.

Preview tab

Shows the article as it will look on your site. Useful for a final check before publishing.

How an edit reaches the site

In the Publish block on the right, choose “Publish” or “Save as draft” and click the button below them. If the article is already live, the button is called “Update on the site”: the post is updated at the same URL, no new page appears. If Yandex Webmaster is connected, the service sends it for recrawling automatically. Choosing “Save as draft” for a published article takes it off the site.

Download or copy

The “Download / copy” block has HTML, MD and Word (.docx) files and the Copy HTML and Copy MD buttons.

Cover image

The right column shows the AI-generated cover (if one was created). If it didn't appear or you want a new one, click Regenerate cover. The new cover is created asynchronously and attached to the published post within 1–3 minutes.

Logs tab

Shows the generation steps with their duration. Useful for diagnosing errors.
