PageBuilder Editor: Adding Blocks and Chains

Every component of a page is a block. A single story displayed on the page, the title of the article, a video playlist, a navigation bar—these are all blocks. Your organization may already have a list of available blocks from which you can choose.

Chains organize the blocks contained within them and provide a predetermined structure for your blocks, so you can edit the blocks' overall layout and have the ability to add labels to a group of blocks rather than to an individual one. You can move blocks within a chain by clicking and dragging the chain above or below other chains. You can also move blocks within a chain by clicking and dragging blocks. And again, your organization may already have a list of available chains from which to choose.

In PageBuilder Editor, there is a streamlined way to add blocks and chains to your Pages. From within the Curate Workspace, click Add Block in any region of your Page layout. A modal opens and then you can add the following:

Whether you're creating a Page from scratch or editing an existing Page, these easy-to-navigate options are available.

Once added, from within the Curate Workspace, you can drag and drop the blocks/chains wherever you would like on your page. Additionally, clicking the ellipsis icon within each card displays a menu with multiple editing, chaining, deletion, and renaming options.

Most of the time, you'll be working in chains that already exist. But if you ever need to create a chain, click on the three dots icon next to the name of a block that isn't already in a chain and select "Chain item". A new chain will be automatically created for you. You can then configure/edit the chain and drag and drop it wherever you would like it to go.
