Exiting the Elementor Editor

Introduction

When you have finished editing a page or post with the Elementor Editor, you can exit to either the WordPress dashboard, the post or page you were editing, or to a list of all the site’s posts or pages. You can set your preference the first time you exit the editor and change it later on. 

Choosing an exit strategy

The first time you click the exit button, a modal window appears. From this screen you can set your new default exit destination.

• If “This Post” is chosen, you will return to the WP editor of the current Post or Page
• If “All Posts” is chosen, you will return to the list of Posts or Pages depending on which you are editing
• If “WP Dashboard” is chosen, you will return to the main dashboard screen of your website.

Change the setting

You may change the default Exit destination page in your User Preferences screen.

To change the default setting:

1. In the upper left of the screen, click the Elementor logo.
   
   A dropdown menu opens.
   
2. Select User Preferences.
   
3. Scroll down to the Navigation section.
   
4. Use the dropdown menu to select what screen you want to exit to.
