Editing Pages

Content is added to exhibit pages using "widgets". Each widget type provides different functionality, but there are four main categories:

• Text widgets:
  • Text Widget: The default widget for an exhibit page and provides limited formatting (bold, italic, links). Each text widget can contain one paragraph of text.
  • Heading Widget: Adds an h2 heading to an exhibit page.
  • List Widget
  • Quote Widget
• Horizontal line
  • Horizontal Rule Widget: Adds a horizontal line to a page.
• externally hosted resources: Curators responsibility to ensure these resources are accessible (see: Accessibility for more guidance).
  • Embed + Text Widget
  • Video Widget
  • Iframe Widget
  • Uploaded Item Row Widget
• exhibit resources:
  • items
  • browse categories
  • browse group categories
  • saved searches
  • Pages Widget

How to format text

• Highlight text to use simple text formatter (heading, quote, bold, italics, link, unlink) in any text widgets or any widgets containing input area labeled "Text" (e.g. items widgets)
• Advanced options: use markdown: Markdown Guide: Basic Syntax
  • Can format with markdown in any of the widget text boxes

Don't forget to Save changes at bottom of the page (sometimes way down if you're editing at the top)
