Add Sections to your Pages #

Text Editor Pages in Protolyst can be used to add different content into a page including Text, Images, Video Embeds as well as adding Links to other Pages in your workspace. You can combine these sections however you want to build your page.

The Add Section Menu appears when you hover at the bottom of an existing section

By default, a new Text Editor Page will open with a text section.

Add another section by hovering over the bottom of an existing section and clicking the (+) icon.

The main sections you can add are:

  • Text sections – plain text for notes and writing
  • Image sections – for embedding images
  • Web embed sections – for Videos/Applets/etc
  • Audio sections – for playing tracks from within Protolyst

Pages can also contain links to other pages in your Workspace. You can add New Pages or add links to existing Pages located elsewhere in your workspace. These options appear in the second half of the Add Section Menu

  • Pages – this will add a clickable link to take you to the new page
  • Files – upload files (PDFs) that can be accessed through the current page
  • Tables – added as a section into a page, the Table will appear alongside the other content on the page
  • Linked Page – add a link to an existing Page, File or Table in your Workspace

All sections on a Page, can be reorganised using Drag and Drop

To the right of each section, there are two icon buttons; a cross and 6 dots. The cross will delete the section, while the 6 dots will allow you to drag and drop the section into a new location on your Page.

Clicking the 6 dot menu may also give you some section-specific options.
