The content library is a place where you can create and store all kinds of content parts in a central place. These parts can then be used on multiple pages, as many times as you like.
The advantages of a content library part:
- You can easily create content that can be used on multiple places without having to copy-paste content
- You can change the content in one central place, and it will automatically change everywhere you use the part
Creating a content library part
You will find the new content library in the "Stories" chapter of your dashboard:
You can create all sorts of content items in the content library:
After you have chosen what kind of content item you want to create, you will find all the lay-out options that are available for that type of content:
Content library items work similar to normal page parts. Just add the content you need and click "save" to create your content library item.
Using content library parts on a page
When working on any page or story, just select the "Content library" part from the part dropdown:
After you added the content library part to your page or story, open it to select which item from the Content library you want to display. All available items can be chosen from the "content" drop-down:
You can also change padding and background color here, just to match the content of the Library item to the current page.
Here is an example of the same Content Library item added twice to the same page (which you will probably never do), with a different background color for each. Note that the content is exactly the same, because it is the same Content library item:
This part can be used on any page you want. If you want to change the layout or content, just go to your Content Library and make your changes there. Every page that uses the Content library item will automatically adapt to the changes.
This is very useful for:
- General contact information items
- A collection of "banners" linking to other places
- Any other content you want to use on multiple pages/stories
