General information

Here you will find some general information about Content elements in TYPO3.

Recommendation

Distribute your page content across multiple elements rather than presenting everything in a single large block. This makes later restructuring easier and enables flexible layouts (e.g., multi-column layouts, accordion elements).

For better clarity, use the "Header" field, which is available for each content element.

Content

  • The Page module
  • Functions in the Page module
  • Content element groups

The Page module

For working with page content, use the Page module:

  1. Click on Page (page icon) in the module bar
  2. Select the desired page in the page tree
  3. In the workspace, you will see all existing content elements

Functions in the Page module

The Page module offers the following functions for each content element:

IconFunction
Pencil iconEdit element
Preview iconShow preview
Eye iconShow/hide element
Trash iconDelete element
Copy iconCopy element
Scissors iconCut element
Info iconDisplay element information (creation date, last update)
Clock iconVersion history with rollback option
Plus iconInsert a new element below

Important

Disabling is not sufficient. Content elements that are no longer needed should be completely deleted – disabled elements still consume backend resources and can make the overview more difficult.
