Making Changes to Published Content

Once your content is live, you can edit it, change where it appears, or update its audience.

Editing Content

You can update content that's already published. If you have multiple segments, you can update content for individual segments too. Here's how to update published content:

  1. Open the content in the Editor

  2. Select the segment tab (if you're updating content for a specific segment)

  3. Make your changes (The Editor auto-saves as you work)

  4. Click Update in the upper right corner

  5. Select which segments should receive the updates

  6. Click Update for [#] Segment(s)

And that's it! Updates go live immediately, but users won't see changes until they refresh the page.

Note: If the update publishes successfully, the segment tab will turn green. If it stays orange, the content has not been republished yet.

Changing Segments (Retargeting Content)

If you want to show content to a different audience, you can retarget it to a new segment.

How to retarget content:

  1. Open the content in the Editor

  2. Click the three dots next to the segment you want to retarget

  3. Click Retarget

  4. Select the new segment

Additional segment actions:

  • Archive: Archived content remains archived until you restore and reassign it to a segment

  • Duplicate: Creates a copy of the content for a different segment

Restore an Archived Segment tab

If you've archived content in a tab and want to bring it back:

  1. In the Editor, click Segments in the top bar

  2. Click Archived Documents

  3. Select the three dot menu on the content you want to restore

  4. Click Restore

  5. Assign a new segment

Updating Placements and URL Rules

You can change where content appears on your page or which pages display it without republishing.

Using the Editor

In the Toolbox:

In Settings:

  • Go to Settings > Placements

  • Define new selectors, remove placements, or update URL rules

Using the Chrome Extension

For most content types (except product tours and hotspots), we recommend updating placements with the Chrome Extension because you can see changes visually on your page.

How to update placements:

  1. Navigate to the page in your product where you want content to show

  2. Open the Chrome Extension

  3. Click All Content

  4. Use the dropdown to select your Candu workspace (make sure it matches your environment such as Production, Staging, etc.)

  5. Search for and select your content

  6. Click the Placement card

What you can change in the Placement view:

  • Selector: Target a different element on the page (a turquoise dotted line highlights positions as you hover)

  • Content position: Change whether content appears above, below, or replaces existing content

  • URL rules: Control which pages display the content

  • Remove placement: Delete the current placement

Note: Placement changes take effect immediately. You do not need to republish content.
