Edit Content Blocks in Design Mode
Designers and site administrators can edit content blocks on the page. Content blocks contain the text for site pages, and can also house images, videos, and hyperlinks.

Tip- If you copy and paste text from Microsoft® Office, highlight
the text and click
to remove
any hidden formatting, which can adversely affect how the text
appears on the page. - Avoid applying formatting, such as different fonts or highlighting, directly to text whenever possible. Instead, it’s best practice to use the paragraph and heading styles to quickly apply consistent formatting throughout the site. Using paragraph and heading styles also ensures that all page text is updated automatically if a site administrator or designer modifies these styles.

the text and click
- Add images, videos, hyperlinks, or anchors as required.
- Click Save.
Note The content of all editable page elements on a child page or template is linked to
the content of the editable elements on its parent page template. When you update
the content of an editable page element on the parent template, the changes are
pushed down to any child pages or page templates. However, if you modify the content
of an editable page element at the child page or template level, you break the link
between the elements, and any subsequent changes made to the page element on the
parent template don't trickle down to its children.
