What you will do

Edit copy inside a Rich text block and format it correctly. Most text updates only require changing the block’s content, not the page layout.

Selecting the text to edit

Find the Rich text block you want to update:
  • Click the text directly in the preview with the Select tool, or
  • Use the sidebar to open the section, then the column, then the Rich text block inside it.
The breadcrumbs at the top let you move from a block up to its column and section. Pressing Escape repeatedly does the same, one level at a time.

Editing and formatting

A single Rich text block can contain several paragraphs. Use separate paragraphs for separate pieces of content. For a list, place the cursor in the list item or select the text you want to format, then apply the colour.
Once the text looks right across desktop, tablet, and mobile, save your work — covered in Revert, save, and publish.
