Powered by WordPress, our text editor lends more flexibility over building out blog and page descriptions, making managing the layout of your description areas quick and effective.

This WordPress editor helps to better organize text, media, and even video content at the touch of a button through a ‘block’ feature, where each element is given its own block/section that you can easily edit and change the location of.

What’s even better is that you can preview each page before you publish a draft to your community, providing better insight into what different elements will look like before setting any changes live!

Visual elements, including PDFs, galleries, images, and more, can be added with ease through blocks, and text can be stylized to your likings with new size, location, and color options.

There are a few places you can use the Block Editor:

  1. Within Community pages --> navigate to Manage>Communities>locate the page you are seeking>click "Edit" underneath that page>scroll down within the Edit settings and click on the "Edit Static Content" button>begin editing!

  2. Within Custom pages -->navigate to Publish>Pages>locate your page>click "Edit">begin editing!

  3. Within Blogs, Resources, and Experiences --> navigate to one of these content types under Publish>edit an existing pieces of content or click "add new">begin editing!

Once you are in the Block Editor, here are some basics to get started:

  1. Make sure to click on the small 3-lined icon to open your "Document Overview" so you can view all the blocks you'll be adding.

  2. Start writing to enter a description, or type ‘/’ to choose an available block format to add your content to (you can also select the '+' sign to add a block)

  3. Once you've added your content to a desired block, remember to save your changes, and you’re all set!
