Questions and edits
How PageFork decides when to answer in chat and when to change your site.
PageFork uses a single chat composer for everything — questions, brainstorming, and site changes. There is no mode switch. PageFork reads your message and decides what to do.
Questions and advice
When you ask a question or want feedback, PageFork replies in chat without touching your site. It can:
- Explain what’s on your site.
- Suggest what to try next.
- Help you decide between two approaches.
- Rewrite copy in chat for you to review before committing.
No version is created. The preview doesn’t change.
Use this when you’re thinking, not yet deciding:
- “What sections does my homepage have?”
- “Give me three headline options for the hero.”
- “Would a FAQ or a comparison table be better here?”
Change requests
When you ask for a specific change, PageFork edits your site. It will:
- Read the relevant pages.
- Plan the change.
- Write updated code.
- Produce a new version that appears in the preview.
Every change creates a new version. Undo rolls it back without losing your chat history.
Use this when you know what you want changed:
- “Make the hero darker.”
- “Add a three-column feature section below the hero.”
- “Rewrite the CTA on the pricing page.”
How PageFork chooses
PageFork looks at the latest message only:
- Question or advice → reply in chat, don’t modify files.
- Change request (including block references from Select mode) → edit the site.
- Unclear intent → PageFork usually answers first rather than editing.
If you want a change but get only a reply, follow up with a more direct instruction: “Apply option 2 to the hero headline.”
Credits
Both kinds of messages consume credits, but questions are usually cheaper because PageFork doesn’t rewrite your site — it just reads and responds. When you’re exploring ideas, ask first and edit once you’ve picked a direction.
