A CMS editor your team will actually enjoy

Everything an editor needs on one screen: a content tree grouped by model, record lists with draft and published tabs, and a focused editor with an Info panel that shows who changed what.

Part of our guide What is a headless CMS.

HelmCMS admin: editing a recipe record with its fields and the Info panel

01Records that make sense at a glance

Each model has a record list with All, Drafts and Published tabs and a search box. Sortable and tree models switch to a nested list where you drag records to reorder or nest them, or use Alt + arrow keys.

  • Status badges: draft, published, changed since publish
  • Drag and drop or keyboard moves for menus
  • Large lists load in pages, up to 2,000 records in a tree

02An editor that stays out of the way

The form sits in a centered column, generated from the content model. Group fields become collapsible cards, repeatable arrays and page-builder blocks stack as cards you can reorder, duplicate and remove.

  • Info panel: slug, record ID, created and published by, publishing status
  • Character counters on fields with a maximum length
  • Language tabs on sites with more than one locale

03Settings in one place

Content models, the blocks library, members and invitations, API keys, webhooks and the audit log live in one settings area, per site, workspace and organization. Sections you can't manage are hidden.

Questions

Does the admin have a dark theme?

Yes. Appearance settings include light and dark themes, an accent color and interface density.

Can editors and agents work on the same record?

Yes. Saving with an out-of-date version is refused with a conflict, so nobody overwrites someone else's change without noticing.
