Editor Overview
Understanding the basics of Momen editor in this article.
Introduction
Learn to edit your interface effortlessly using Momen. This tutorial covers the basic operations in Momen editor, including adding and organizing pages, components, and groups, configuring settings, managing data models and APIs, leveraging advanced features, and deploying applications.
Editor Left Sidebar
Building an application starts with a page or component. The left sidebar offers essential features like adding pages, page groups, components, and viewing the component tree. You can quickly search for components and drag them into the page to build or modify your application interface.
Component and Page Search
Click the search button in the left sidebar to find components and pages quickly. You can search for components to add or find existing pages and their components for viewing and modification.
Enter the component name when adding components.

Adjusting Component Order
Relative Positioning
Adjusting the order in the left sidebar will sync the order of components on the page.
![](https://docs.momen.app/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2F2186054900-files.gitbook.io%2F%7E%2Ffiles%2Fv0%2Fb%2Fgitbook-x-prod.appspot.com%2Fo%2Fspaces%252FNNm75vAys0CMwBUdWsgC%252Fuploads%252Fgit-blob-e1b3ea1e580e1208fbc2d7747262903177e24cdf%252Fcomponentsorders.gif%3Falt%3Dmedia&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=4e2455de&sv=1)
Absolute & Fixed Positioning
In absolute & fixed positioning, new components overlapping old ones will visually form an "upper and lower layer" relationship. Drag components up or down in the left sidebar to adjust this relationship. You can only adjust the hierarchy of "same level" components, not move components inside a container to the outside.
