Setting a Projects CMS

However, it’s also possible to set a Blocs project to be targeted to one specific CMS and there are benefits to doing this. When making areas CMS editable there are less options to select from on the contextual menu. Also, the Export Project option from the file menu automatically detects the CMS project type and exports your project accordingly to work with that CMS, meaning you don’t need to navigate to and use the dedicated export option for that CMS type.

To set a projects target CMS to a specific one, first navigate to the main project settings by navigating to File > Project settings from the apps main menu.

project-settings

From the general project options you can set the projects target CMS using the drop down menu button labelled CMS.

select-cms

Important

Please note, Volt CMS is not included in the Blocs project settings CMS options as it does not require a specific export structure.
