Edit an item

There are two places to change an item, and choosing the right one saves most of the time spent maintaining a menu.

Quick edits from the list

All items exists so that the everyday changes never require opening a dish.

1. Open All items under the menu type.
2. Find the row — use the search box or the category filter.
3. Change the value directly on the row.
4. Wait for the confirmation before moving on.

This is the screen to use during service. It is fast, it shows the item in the context of its section, and it does not risk half-saving a larger edit.

Full edits on the item screen

Open the item when the change is content rather than a value:

1. Select the item title on All items.
2. Edit the fields you need.
3. Select Update.
4. Confirm the change was stored by reading it back.

The screen is fixed in a two-column layout with its panels expanded, so every editor sees the same arrangement: content and prices in the main column, featured, category and allergens in the side column.

This layout and its fixed panels apply only to Fenómenus items. Pages, posts, and unrelated custom content types retain their existing editor layout and panel controls.

What to check when editing

• Prices — you are editing the format you think you are. Full portion, half portion and unit are three separate fields.
• Descriptions — the change keeps the menu's established tone and length.
• Allergens — a recipe change is also an allergen change. This is the most commonly forgotten edit in a restaurant.
• Photos — a new gallery image does not replace the featured image if one is already set.

What an edit does not do

• It does not translate itself. Text changes must be repeated in each language, from the translation panel on the item.
• It does not update a generated PDF. That file is a snapshot; regenerate it.
• It does not change printed QR codes, which is fine — they encode addresses, not content.
• It does not keep a previous version. Menu items have no revision history, so there is nothing to roll back to.

That last point is the reason for the standard habit: change one item, look at it signed out, then continue.

Editing across languages

Prices, allergens, categories, images and the menu order are shared across an item's translations. Titles and the text fields are per language.

So a price correction made once applies everywhere, while a rewritten description has to be repeated per language.

After the edit

1. Reload the admin screen and confirm the value persisted.
2. Open the public menu in a private window.
3. If the old value persists there after a reload, purge the site's page cache or CDN.
4. On a phone, confirm the item still reads well — a longer description can change how a card lays out.
