Content Link enables you to edit content on websites using headless CMSs by providing links on elements that match a content model in the CMS. This real-time content visualization allows collaborators to make changes without needing a developer's assistance.

Content Link can be enabled on a preview deployment through the Edit Mode button on the Vercel Toolbar's.

The corresponding model in the CMS determines an editable field. Hover over an element to display a link in the top-right corner of the element. Select the link to open the related CMS field for editing.

Using this feature doesn't require any additional configuration or code changes to the page you want to edit.
