Edit a page while the page is loading or after the page fails to load

You can perform many actions before the page loads in the VEC, or even if the page fails to load altogether (for example, custom code is no longer operational).

Some reasons why you might want to access or make edits to a page while it is loading within the VEC or after it fails to load:

  • You want to make a simple modification to a page, such as to add custom code or change an experience’s name
  • You want to copy existing custom code from a page that is no longer accessible
  • You know that a page will not load within the VEC, but you want to make simple edits anyway

While the page loads (or after it fails to load), the Experiences panel, Modifications panel, and the settings at the top of the experience (Overlays, Modifications, Configure, and so forth) are all accessible.

Cancel loading of a page within the VEC

You can cancel the loading of a page within the VEC to unlock editing of the activity without waiting for the page to load. This feature saves time and helps you make simple edits or insert custom code more efficiently without waiting for the page to load within the VEC.

Some reasons why you might want to cancel page loading within the VEC include:

  • You want to make minor edits to existing modifications
  • You want to delete one or more existing modifications
  • You want to insert or edit custom code
  • You mistakenly entered the wrong URL for the page
  • You want to enable or disable JavaScript before loading the page in the VEC
  • You want to add more template testing rules to the Page Delivery criteria
  • You want to override the global Enhanced Experience Composer (EEC) toggle when loading a page via the EEC or iframe-only might depend might vary page to page

After you cancel page loading in the VEC you can switch between experiences in the activity without waiting for the page to load. To see the page within the VEC again, you must click the Reload button.

IMPORTANT
Be aware that when custom code or any modifications are made, by choosing to cancel loading within the VEC, you must ensure that your coding or changes are done properly. Ensure that you perform proper QA to ensure that your custom code and any other modifications are delivered as expected.

To cancel loading of a page within the VEC, click the Cancel Loading button while the page is loading. The page will not load in the VEC for this activity during the current editing session.

To continue managing experiences in the current activity or to add new modifications, you must click the Reload button.
