Content element

What are Elements?

Elements are the fundamental building blocks of your Composer pages. Learn more about how elements work in the article, "Understanding elements" and read about each of the 5 tabs in the element library: Standard, Module, Layout, Social, and Shared.

The Content element is the most basic building block in Composer, and it can accept any kind of text, image, or rich content. Use a content element for unique content that is not generated by other Finalsite modules. Content elements can contain images, embeds, links, or any other content you want to add.

One Content element is added by default to a new Composer page. To add one, open up your Element Library on a Composer page. Go to the Standard tab and select Content.

There is a lot you can do in a Content element beyond the common element settings. It is open-ended and will accept just about any type of content, whether it's text, images, media, or whatever else you want to showcase.

After you add a Content element to your page, selecting Click here to add content will bring up the Finalsite editor, allowing you to type or paste in text, add images, and more. Inside the editor, you can insert links and even create a button
