# Craft 5 - Display Matrix fields "Open"

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-12-18)

I find the UX of the Matrix Fields in Craft 5 a downgrade from craft 4.

Is it possible to show the matrix blocks "open", everything can be edited directly on the page without double-clicking everything?

Yes, you just need to switch the view mode in the matrix's settings to "inline-editable blocks":
