# Edit Grav Pages

After installing Grav, one of the first things you’ll want to do is edit your Grav site. Those familiar with Github, Mattermost, and Slack will understand much of the [Markdown markup language](/support/website/website-design/understanding-markdown/) used in Grav. Below we cover **how to edit Grav pages via Admin plugin, cPanel File Manager, or FTP**.

Here is the default homepage with the Grav + Admin Plugin package.
