Changing Title Attribute on Views Panel Buttons Doesn't Persist
Hi @at-codes titles for panel buttons are connected directly to i18n locale strings so you'll need to update those strings there. You can find more info about the i18n module here.

Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug? Implement the code below on editor load
What is the expected behavior? Button titles change and stay changed
What is the current behavior? Button titles change, but after clicking one of them it reverts back.
If is necessary to execute some code in order to reproduce the bug, paste it here below:
// Change the title of the view buttons
let view_buttons = $('.gjs-pn-views > .gjs-pn-buttons').find('span');
view_buttons.each(function( index, elem ) {
switch ($(elem).attr('title')) {
case 'Open Style Manager':
$(elem).attr('title', 'Styling');
$(elem).prop('title', 'Styling');
break;
case 'Open Layer Manager':
$(elem).attr('title', 'Layer Manager');
$(elem).prop('title', 'Layer Manager');
break;
case 'Open Blocks':
$(elem).attr('title', 'Page Layout');
$(elem).prop('title', 'Page Layout');
break;
default:
break;
}
});

Thanks for reporting this, @at-codes.
Great question about Changing Title Attribute on Views Panel Buttons Doesn't Persist. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
