Content panels can be expanded to reveal options for editing section

The first type of content panel on any page is the Banner panel. It provides

options for updating the top banner image, headline, and subheadline.

However, the banner is optional. Leave at least one field on a banner blank

W Y S I W Y G C O M P O N E N T

“WYSIWYG” the most common type of Standard Row component. This is

used for displaying standard headings, paragraphcs, lists, links, buttons, and

tables. It looks similar to the standard text editor with a toolbar for changing

the text formatting.

H O W T O S T Y L E A S E C T I O N H E A D I N G

1. Highlight the heading you want to format.

2. On the WYSIWYG toolbar, click Formats > Headings > Heading 2.

The Headings drop-down reveals the different heading classes. Use the

“Heading 2” class for the main section headings within a page.

Use the “Heading 3” class for sub-section headings.

Use the “Heading 1” class in a WYSIWYG component only if you are styling

the name of the page. This typically happens when you are not displaying

the name of the page in the top banner. Each page can only have one

“Heading 1”, class for search engine optimization (SEO) purposes.

Paragraph

H O W T O S T Y L E P A R A G R A P H S

By default, paragraphs will already be styled as soon as you begin typing in

a WYSIWYG Content box. However, if you are copying and pasting text from

a Word document, the paragraph may not be recognized in the editor as a

paragraph.

Highlight the paragraph text. If the element indicator at the bottom of

the WYSIWYG Content box displays “p”, then the editor recognizes the

highlighted text as a paragraph. No further styling is needed. However, if the

element status bar is blank or displays something other than “p”, then the

paragraph will need to be styled properly.

1. Highlight the paragraph text you want to format.

2. On the WYSIWYG toolbar, click Formats > Blocks > Paragraph.
