Sue Howard (ID: 000000160ac5774e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/07/2021 The the support for this project is unmatched. Especially for a free tool. Tony from EditMode got back to me within minutes on a Saturday night. Some tips that may help you: 1. At first I couldn't click the "Finish" button after making my edits. The workaround is to click outside of the editable area and then click the finish button. If there is a chatbot on the page, click on the chat bot and then the buttons are clickable. 2. A floating header was covering the EditMode buttons. You can click and drag the editmode menu so it's no longer covered. If that doesn't work, you can go into Chrome's Developer Tools and delete the floating header (it just deletes it on your view of the page, it doesn't impact what anyone else sees).
