Editing Content Blocks in Website Builder

Once you have selected which page you would like to edit from the dashboard - you will see the Website Builder Editor. This is a WYSWYG (What You See is What You Get) style of editor which means you will not be required to edit, create or directly change html code to make changes to your site. However, these functions are available to you if you need to copy or insert html into your site.

Hover Over Elements: When you hover your cursor over elements in the page, the content blocks will become outlined with a dotted line.

NEED TO KNOW
A yellow dotted line = a content block that occurs on this page only
A gray dotted line = a content block that appears on multiple pages

You will also notice a gray settings icon appear in the top right corner of each content block. If you hover over the settings icon, you will see options available to edit this block only.

1. Block Designer - this will allow you to edit several aspects of the formatting of this block

• Background Color - choose a color that will appear behind all block content
• Border Color - choose a color to outline the content block
• Border Weight - choose how thick you want the border to be
• Border Style - choose they type of border you want
• Cell Spacing - this relates to the distance you want the entire block to be indented on all sides
• Cell Padding - this relates to the distance between the content and the block border

NEED TO KNOW
px = pixels (a standard unit of measurement used on the internet)

2. Save/Insert - this allows you to save the content of a block so that it can be inserted (and linked) to other locations on your website.

• Share Block - name this block so you can insert (link) to it at another location within your site
• Select Shared Block - when you want to copy (and link) the content from a previously shared block, find it from the drop down and click to insert the content.

When you make changes to one block, the content will automatically be updated in the other shared locations. You will need to un-share a content block if you want to move it to another location on the page or to delete it.

2. Selecting the Page You Want to Edit: Use the dropdown area on the box on the right hand side of the screen to select which page you would like to work on.

3. Import Backup - here you can import content from a site backup

4. Clear - this allows you to clear all formatting applied to the content block.

5. Delete Block - this will delete the block permanently from the page.
