Vercel's Visual Editing feature, developed in partnership with headless CMS providers like Sanity, Builder.io, and TinaCMS, allows for direct click-to-edit content on preview deployments. This technology enables content editors to modify content directly on the Vercel preview interface, with changes synchronizing back to the headless CMS. It supports any web framework and aims to streamline collaboration between developers and content teams by eliminating the need to access the CMS dashboard for minor edits. TinaCMS integration specifically enables visual editing for Markdown, MDX, and JSON content stored in Git repositories, leveraging Vercel's preview deployments and Tina's data layer.
