Switch between independent Folders/Galleries/Pages in Customizer

Motorider

This applies to any independent Folder/Gallery/Page (ie: 'Just This Page') in the Customizer.

Is there a way to make changes to one independent F/G/P followed by another? I have allot of independent F/G/Ps so I really need a better way to edit them.

Presently, I have to:
1) Be on that independent F/G/P in my site (logged in, but not in Customizer).
2) Click 'Customize > Customize Site' where I can edit that independent F/G/P.
3) I can preview/save/publish changes successfully to that independent F/G/P only.

The problem is that I must exit the customizer & repeat everything from step 1 again to edit another independent F/G/P.

Is there something that I'm missing? I've tried clicking 'Preview' after editing one of my independent F/G/Ps, then navigated to another independent F/G/P, but when I click 'Customize', it dumps me back to my Homepage in the Customizer & I've lost all my previous edits.

Hi Motorider,
Unfortunately, you are already using the best method for making changes to individual F/G/P. I will definitely submit this as a feature request, and hopefully we'll see it updated in the near future. I apologize for any inconvenience!
Thank you,

Are you really sure? Maybe this is worth a try:

1.Open your SM site in your favorite browser.
2.Select Customize
3.Edit whatever you want...
4.If your browser supports tabs open a new tab, otherwise open a new browser window and open your SM site.
5.Navigate to a custom page on tab#2/2nd browser window.
6.Copy the URL from the address bar.
7.Switch to tab#1/1st browser window.
8.Replace URL like http://xyz.smugmug.com/.../page#customize
9.Edit the custom page
10.Repeat steps #4 to #9
11.Publish now...

It worked here while doing some testing (see this video, sorry for some parts being in german language and for the bad quality at the beginning)... but for sure that needs more advanced users to validate. Feedback is welcome.

Thank you Amanda for submitting this as a feature request. I believe it's an important functionality (along with the ability to copy 'blocks' as well as apply 'templates' from one independent F/G/P to another) that is missing from your new site that would benefit many users.

phaserbeam, I like your thinking but unfortunately no matter how many variations of your suggestion I tried it wouldn't work for me. Only the changes from the last page I edited are saved. And the link to your video didn't work for me either.

Cheers
