# Save Editor Data
Elementor Core AdvancedElementor has a hook that lets developers run code after the user has saved data in the editor.
# Hook Details
- Hook Type: Action Hook
- Hook Name:
elementor/editor/after_save - Affects: Editor
# Hook Arguments
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
post_id | integer | The post ID. |
editor_data | array | A list of Elementor elements |
# Examples
A good example of using this hook is when you want to log user activities. Each time the user saves Elementor data, you can log this activity:
/**
* Log user activity when the user saves Elementor data.
*
* @since 1.0.0
* @param int $post_id The ID of the post.
* @param array $editor_data The editor data.
*/
function log_saved_elementor_data( $post_id, $editor_data ) {
// Interact with your activity log plugin
insert_activity_log_data(
[
'action' => 'saved',
'object_type' => 'Elementor Data',
'object_id' => $post_id,
'object_name' => get_the_title( $post_id ),
]
);
}
add_action( 'elementor/editor/after_save', 'log_saved_elementor_data', 10, 2 );

Another example is when you want to clear the cache each time the user updates a post:
/**
* Clear old cache when the user saves new Elementor data.
*
* @since 1.0.0
* @param int $post_id The ID of the post.
* @param array $editor_data The editor data.
*/
function clear_cache_when_updating_elementor( $post_id, $data ) {
if ( get_post_status( $post_id ) != 'publish' ) {
return;
}
// Interact with your caching plugin
clear_old_cache_data_for_your_post( $post_id );
}
add_action( 'elementor/editor/after_save', 'clear_cache_when_updating_elementor', 10 , 2 );
