Pick based on what you're changing: | Tool | Best for | Skill needed | | --- | --- | --- | | **Quick Edit** | Fixing wording, bold, links, text colour | None | | **AI Agent** | Design changes, new sections, new pages, anything you can describe | None | | **Block Editor** | Precise layout control, custom blocks, fine-tuning | Some WordPress familiarity | The one rule: **the AI Agent never saves without asking you.** Every change it makes is a preview until you click Save. More on that below. ![The Spark AI toolbar with AI Agent, Quick Edit, Block Editor and WP Admin](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-08-new-toolbar-ai-agent-quick-edit.jpg) All three tools live in the toolbar at the top of your site. --- ## Quick Edit — changing text on the page This is the fastest way to fix copy, and it works directly on your live site. 1. Make sure the **Quick Edit** toggle in the toolbar is switched on. 2. Hover over the text you want to change. It gets a dashed outline and two buttons appear. 3. Click **Quick Edit**. 4. Type your changes and use the toolbar to format them. 5. Click **Save**. ![Hovering a block with Quick Edit on, showing Quick Edit and Ask AI buttons](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-11-quick-edit-ask-ai-inline-toolbar.jpg) Hovering any block reveals Quick Edit and Ask AI. The inline toolbar gives you alignment, **bold**, *italic*, links, text colour and highlighting — plus an **Ask AI** shortcut if you'd rather describe the change than type it. ![The Quick Edit formatting toolbar with alignment, bold, italic, link, colour, highlight, Ask AI, Cancel and Save](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-14-quick-edit-inline-text-toolbar.jpg) Everything you need for text, without leaving the page. While a Quick Edit is open the AI Agent is paused — its message box reads *"Finish editing first"*. Click **Save** or **Cancel** to release it. --- ## The AI Agent — describing what you want Click **AI Agent** in the toolbar to open the chat panel on the left, then type what you want in plain language. ### Pointing at a specific element If your change applies to one part of the page, tell the agent which part: 1. With Quick Edit on, hover the element. 2. Click **Ask AI**. 3. A **"1 block selected"** chip appears in the chat box. 4. Type your request and press Enter. ![The AI Agent chat with a 1 block selected chip and a prompt asking what to change](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-15-ask-ai-block-selected.jpg) The chip tells the agent exactly what you're referring to. Remove the chip with the **×** if you want your next message to apply to the whole site instead. ### Review before you save When the agent finishes, it applies the change to your browser only and asks you to confirm: ![The AI Agent showing the change made and Cancel, Try Again and Save buttons](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-16-ai-agent-review-and-confirm.jpg) Look at the page, then decide. - **Save** — make it permanent - **Try Again** — have another go at the same request - **Cancel** — discard it **Don't navigate away with a change pending.** If you click through to another page before confirming, the change is discarded and you may see *"Error running block-patching."* Confirm or cancel first. ### Requests that work well | What you want | What to type | | --- | --- | | Rewrite some copy | Change this to mention free delivery across Dubai on orders over AED 50 | | Add a section | Add a testimonials section to the home page | | Add a page | Create an about us page with our story and an image gallery | | Change a button | Change this button to say Book a Table and link it to the contact page | | Change an image | Replace this image with something showing our shopfront | | Generate an image | Generate an AI image of a fresh salad bowl on a wooden table | | Reorder things | Move the image column to the right | | Remove something | Delete this section | | Translate | Translate this section into Arabic | | Publish | Publish this page and add it to the navigation | ⚠️ **One limit worth knowing:** AI image generation is capped at 10 images per day. ### When the agent can't do it Some requests fall outside what the agent can change directly. When that happens it doesn't just refuse — the Support Specialist takes over and gives you step-by-step instructions for doing it yourself, usually with a link to the right WordPress screen. --- ## One-click site-wide changes For the most common changes, don't type anything. The AI Agent lists them under **"What's next?"** — click **Show more** for the full set. ![The AI Agent quick actions menu with seven one-click options](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-12-ai-agent-quick-actions-menu.jpg) Title, animation, browser icon, fonts, colours, logo and style. Each opens a visual picker in the chat. **Change website colors** shows ten palettes — click one to preview it on your site, then **Save** or **Cancel**. ![Ten theme colour palettes shown in the AI Agent panel with Cancel and Save](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-13-change-website-colors-picker.jpg) Faster and more reliable than describing a colour in words. --- ## Changing your whole design Ask the AI Agent to show you other website designs and you'll get a scrollable list of complete alternative designs, each rendered with your own content. ![The design switcher showing alternative designs with Load more, Cancel and Save](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-10-design-switcher-load-more-save.jpg) Your text and images stay put — only the design changes. Click **Load more** for further options, then **Save** the one you want or **Cancel** to keep what you have. --- ## The Block Editor — full control When you need precision, click **Block Editor** in the toolbar to open the current page in WordPress's full editor. You can also get there from **WP Admin → Pages**. Everything on a WordPress page is a block — a heading, a paragraph, an image, a button. In the Block Editor you can: - Click any block to edit it, and use the sidebar for its colour, spacing and typography settings - Drag blocks to reorder them, or use the up and down arrows - Add blocks with the **+** button, or by typing **/** followed by the block name - Insert whole pre-designed sections from the **Patterns** tab - Delete a block from its **⋮** menu Click **Update** to save. Useful shortcuts: **Ctrl/Cmd + Z** to undo, **Ctrl/Cmd + K** to add a link, **/** to insert a block. --- ## Everything else lives in WP Admin Head to **WP Admin → Site Assistant** for the Site Guide checklist and Quick Links to add pages and posts, edit your header, footer and navigation, change your site style, explore plugins and reset your site. ![The Site Assistant dashboard with Site Guide and Quick Links panels](https://www.aeserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/spark-ai-19-site-guide-and-quick-links.jpg) Quick Links covers the structural jobs the front-end tools don't. The AI Agent is available here too, from the button in the WordPress admin bar. --- ## Troubleshooting | Problem | What to do | | --- | --- | | An AI change disappeared | You almost certainly navigated away before clicking Save. Ask again, and confirm before moving on. | | "Error running block-patching." | Same cause. Reload the page and repeat the request, confirming this time. | | The chat box says "Finish editing first" | A Quick Edit is still open somewhere. Save or cancel it. | | Hovering doesn't show the edit buttons | The Quick Edit toggle is off. Switch it on in the toolbar. | | The agent changed the wrong thing | Click Cancel, then select the specific block with Ask AI before asking again. | | The result isn't what you meant | Click Try Again, or Cancel and reword the request more specifically. | | Your site looks different after saving | Clear your browser cache and reload, or check in a private window. | --- ## A few habits worth having - **One change at a time.** Ask, review, save, then move on. - **Be specific about location.** "On the About page, in the top section…" beats "somewhere near the top". - **Select the block** when the change is local. It removes the guesswork. - **Actually read the preview.** The panel warns you that the agent can make mistakes, and it means it. - **Check on mobile.** Most of your visitors will be on a phone.
