How it works

1

Open the Payload CMS page or admin screen

SimpleReview detects the platform and keeps the task anchored to the real UI the user wants to change.

2

Click the broken element

The extension captures the selected context and maps it to likely paths such as src/collections/, src/globals/, src/components/, payload.config.ts, plugins/.

3

Describe the change in plain language

The agent drafts a focused diff instead of rewriting unrelated parts of the CMS project.

4

Upload the fix to the site

Apply small file-level fixes through Git, SFTP/SSH, or your normal deployment flow; escalate access control, database migrations, custom auth, queues, and production plugin architecture to Vibers human review.

Where this fits

Good fit: small recurring CMS fixes that should become a site update. Not a fit for unattended AI: access control, database migrations, custom auth, queues, and production plugin architecture. That split keeps the forum promise honest: SimpleReview is a practical tool, not a replacement for senior platform engineering.

Use cases

Site owners

Fix visible copy, layout, and admin issues without waiting for a maintenance retainer slot.

Agencies

Turn the boring tickets into site-ready fixes so senior developers stay focused on architecture and integration work.

Plugin and addon developers

Use the hub as a support-friendly announcement page for Payload plugin ecosystem users.

Forum helpers

Link this hub for the product overview, then link deep guides only when the thread asks for that specific fix.
