Lets say I have a Website on which there is a forum where users can submit some data.  
From this data a page is created in the backend to store said data.

Now I was wondering if there is a way to add a new custom buttons in the backend of these pages.  
So that it looks like this: [https://i.imgur.com/JstnEyL.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/JstnEyL.jpg)

I came across this:

> **[My first Panel view](https://getkirby.com/docs/cookbook/extensions/first-panel-view)**
>
> Create your first custom Panel view from scratch

  
But this does not seem to answer my question exactly. Since panel views are completly seperate kind of pages inside the Backend instead of editing the actual page views. Or is this acually the way to go, but I would have override default views like PageView.vue?

I think you would have to implement this in a custom section but then it would not be in the topbar of the page. A custom view doesn’t make much sense, I think, since a view doesn’t represent a page.

I was thinking maybe if I edit this view [https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/blob/master/panel/src/components/Views/PageView.vue](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/blob/master/panel/src/components/Views/PageView.vue) I could add the Buttons, but im really uncertain about it so I figured I should ask before i’ll try to work on it, since im not 100% sure if this is the way to go.

That might be an option, yes, although I’m not quite sure if overriding views works now or not.
