Common Editing Tasks

To insert headings and paragraphs

Use the Content block to include text headings and paragraphs on a page. Add or Edit a Content block, highlight some text and select the drop down towards the end of the toolbar and select a heading type.

To insert links to pages, files and external URLs

Within a Content block, highlight some text and select the Link button on the Content block toolbar.

From the dialog, you can either:

• Select the file button, to select a file to link to from the file manager.

Adding Images

Images can be added in two ways:

• By adding an Image block.

• By using a Content block and placing an image directly within the content.
