Overview

The Page content type is used most frequently on our website. It is suited for use with landing pages and general content as it allows for flexibility through the use of different components. 


For more information on determining the content type to use, selecting the content type in Drupal, or finding your content to edit, please refer to the linked Help Desk articles.

2.  Header Content

  • ‌Description: Short, descriptive text below the page header title in the header.

3.  Main Content Area Tab

The Main content area pre-adds the Text component, which can be removed if not needed. For additional components, click the ADD COMPONENT button to see available options. The page content type allows for the most number of component options, such as: Text, 50-50 Contained, Accordion, etc.:


Right Column Tab

Optional container for related content. Its use case is very specific and is therefore used very infrequently.
