HOW TO: What type of Microcontent can I add to a Basic page?

Basic pages can contain a featured image, media (images and videos), block quotes, tables, accordions, automatic lists, contacts, link collection lists, callouts, promos, related files, and statistics. You can also embed documents, calendars, Qualtrics surveys, and other embeddable items. Basic pages are the most versatile type of page as they allow most types of Microcontent.

HOW TO: Create a Link Collection List

When you have several links to content on external websites, you can create a tidy list of links by creating a Microcontent Link Collection List. First you create the Microcontent by adding a URL, link text, and optional link description. You can add two or more links to your list, up to 20 links that can be manually sorted. After you've created and saved your Link Collection List, you can embed that list on your page. Link Collection Lists can be added to Landing pages or Basic pages. Learn more about working with Link Collection Lists on the DX Training website.

HOW TO: Create a Visual Link Collection List

Visual Link Collection Lists can be placed on Landing pages. These lists need to have at least two links and no more than 12 links. They always include a visual component (an image). Links automatically break into 4 across. Learn how to create Visual Link Collection Lists on the DX Training website.
