✨ Modern editing experience for your Django models with Wagtail 🐦
summary
Adds Wagtail CMS to an existing Django project to give models real CMS features: using the register_snippet decorator and mixins, migrations, and URL/middleware changes, the demo wires a Product model into Wagtail, adds previewable mixin live previews, revision history with diffs, draft changes with scheduled publishing, instance locking, and customizable workflows and admin listings. All features are shown working end to end in the example app (including export to spreadsheet), so this is a how-to with concrete code and steps rather than high-level promises.
