11 min read

Rich content allows you, and others with the necessary permissions, to edit text, images and videos directly from your CMS (Content Management System). You can add, edit, and delete the fields in the same way you would edit any other field type and display the content on a dynamic page.

Set the field type in your collection to "rich content" and enable a suite of extra editing tools right inside the CMS.

Important:

You can use the rich content field as an individual element on a dynamic page. Currently, the rich content field is not compatible with repeaters or tables.

Adding a rich content field in your collection

To add a rich content field:

Go to CMS in your site's dashboard.
Click the relevant collection.
Click Manage Fields.
Click + Add Field.
Click the Field type drop-down and select Rich Content.
Enter a name in the Field Name field.
(Velo only) Update the Field Key, which is used in the site's code. You cannot update this field later.
(Optional) Enter Help text if you want a tool tip icon next to your field title.
Click Save.
