Editor Custom Functionality

Question

On some of our pages, we have a component that is a list of links. In Sitecore, this is saved as follows:

- Component data source
  - list item 1
  - list item 2
  - list item 3

Sitecore users can now only add links to the list by going to the Content Editor and manually adding the list item. This is not very convenient for users, as they must constantly switch between the Content and Experience Editor.

I would like to provide functionality in the experience editor itself, which can allow users to add these link elements using functionality like layover.

I did a quick search and could not find anything specific. Is there any way to update this functionality?

Answer 1

You should create a custom button WebEditthat will add children to your data source.
