# Permission Modes

Permission modes control how much freedom AI has when editing your page.

## Available modes

### Allow Edits (default)

AI makes changes directly. When you send "change the headline," AI updates immediately.

**Best for:** Quick editing, drafting, experimenting with ideas.

### Suggest Only

AI proposes changes but waits for approval. Each change appears as an approval card.

**Best for:** Fine-tuning published pages, reviewing every change before it applies.

## Switching modes

1. Look at the left side of the chat input toolbar
2. Click the permission mode selector
3. Choose **Allow Edits** or **Suggest Only**

| Scenario                              | Recommended mode |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Initial page creation and drafting    | Allow Edits      |
| Fine-tuning a published page          | Suggest Only     |
| Experimenting with ideas              | Allow Edits      |
| Making changes to a high-traffic page | Suggest Only     |
