Page content types

You determine the type of content element during setup (see image). The content element type can also be changed later. Below, each type is described according to its group.

Standard

• Content element type Header: A heading with a text field.
• Content element type Text & Media: A heading with a text field. Here, you can add text as well as files. The text can be entered and formatted using the Rich Text Editor. You can create links, create tables, and embed files under Media (image and audio files, videos, or PDFs). Including videos from YouTube or Vimeo is also part of this.

  With the table wizard you can create tables. Preferably, use the table in the RTE (Rich Text Editor) and less the content element Table.

  Links to PDF files with the option to customize their appearance. You can find a guide for "File Links" on a separate page.
