Content areas

Prebuilt content documents include one content area where you can add text and links.

You can also add multiple content areas and customize the layout of the document. For example, you can use columns and sidebars on the top, bottom, left and right sides of the document to segment your content.

You can customize a content area with these layouts:

  • Single center full area
  • 2-column
  • 3-column
