Getting started as an author

Adobe Commerce Storefront lets you create and update storefront pages without editing code. You work with text, images, ready-made blocks, metadata, and publishing tools while developers maintain the storefront’s design and behavior.

Create your first page

Follow this path if you are new to authoring a Commerce storefront:

1. What is Commerce Storefront? — Learn which tools create, edit, and deliver your storefront.
2. How a page comes together — Understand how authors and page designers combine content and design.
3. Author and developer tasks — See what you can change yourself and when a request needs code.
4. Document Authoring — Learn to edit content in documents.
5. Create your first commerce page — Build, preview, and publish a category page with a Commerce block and metadata.

You can also edit content while viewing the storefront as shoppers see it. Use these resources for your project:

• Visual editing overview — Understand why new storefronts use Experience Workspace and which existing Universal Editor projects remain supported.
• Experience Workspace — Enable the editor and find instructions for editing, previewing, and publishing.
• Universal Editor (deprecated) — Edit content in an existing Universal Editor project.
