templatesEdit: A Better Manager View for Editing Document Layouts

Manager-side tooling has always shaped how comfortable a team feels inside Evolution CMS. The templatesEdit module is a good example of that: not a frontend feature, but a workflow improvement for people editing document presentation inside the manager.

Why it mattered

• It reduced friction in the editing interface.
• It made certain document-layout tasks more direct for editors.
• It gave teams another option beyond the stock manager experience.

Tools like this are part of the broader Evo ecosystem story. They may not change routing or output, but they change the daily cost of maintaining a project.

Why it still matters historically

Looking back at modules such as templatesEdit helps explain how the Evo community kept refining the manager long before many of those ideas became standard elsewhere. Workflow tooling was never just a convenience layer; for real teams it was a productivity feature.
