# Document Viewer/Editor

Appstent Content Views are represented as JSON documents.  These JSON documents can be viewed in Document Editor screen when selected from the Document List.  If the signed-in user has Editor or a higher role, these documents can be edited and saved.

The editor is based on an open source Monaco Editor, which is the same editor used in Visual Studio Code.  As the Appsntent Content Documents are JSON formats, the Editor is configured to provide syntax highlighting and indentation accordingly.

To learn about how to author content, please refer to content authoring section at [Content Authoring](/appstent/content-authoring/basic-structuring.md)
