General edits
The workhorse. Whenever you describe a change and no specialized tool claims it, the general edit capability builds it: new sections, rewrites, layout changes, styling, content. It’s what handles most of your messages.
How to trigger it
Section titled “How to trigger it”Just describe the change — no special syntax:
- “add a testimonials section with three quotes”
- “make the hero darker and the headline bigger”
- “rewrite the about text in a friendlier tone”
- “redesign the whole page from scratch”
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Genesis reads your wording to size the job:
| You say | It treats it as |
|---|---|
| ”redesign from scratch”, “start over”, “с нуля” | A rebuild — replans and regenerates the page |
| ”add…”, “create…”, “another…”, “добавь” | A new section — builds it alongside what exists |
| ”change…”, “replace…”, “make X red”, “замени” | An in-place edit — modifies what’s there, nothing duplicated |
| ”cleaner”, “simpler”, “less padding”, “попроще” | A refinement — polish, no structural change |
Verbs matter: “add a pricing section” creates a second one even if a similar section exists; “replace the pricing section” swaps the existing one.
Selection makes it surgical
Section titled “Selection makes it surgical”Select an element first and your message applies to exactly that element — “remove it”, “make this stand out” — with no guessing about what “it” means. Selected edits also skip the planning phase, so they’re faster.
Images
Section titled “Images”Describe an image and Genesis generates it (“use a photo of a mountain lake at dawn”). If you explicitly want empty slots instead, say “with placeholders” — that turns image generation off for the whole request.
