Customize the Content palette

The Content palette, which is accessed from the site toolbar, contains the content items a content author can add to a page.

These content items act as templates. When added to a page, the item is copied. Authors can adapt the item according to their needs. The top-level view of the Content palette contains categories. To find a certain content item, the content author can drill down in the category structure. Use keywords or content associations to define the categories shown in the top-level view.

• Create new categories for the Content palette using Web Content Authoring Portlet
  For a site area, add a keyword to profiles to define categories in the Content palette. Content items in the site area appear in the new category of the site toolbar.

• Create new categories for the Content palette using the Manage Pages portlet
  Associate content with the hidden Content page to define categories in the Content palette. Content items under the associated site area appear in the new category of the site toolbar.

• Create Content Drag and Drop configurations
  Configure the results that display when a content author searches for a portlet to add. We can also enable assistance for content authors by displaying supported markup in search results. Additionally, we can set up an automatic check of the width of a portlet when a content author drags and drops it into a column. Enabling this feature prevents a content author from accidentally dragging and dropping an item into a column that is too small.

• Create custom images for categories in the Content palette
  We can assign a custom image to an item in the Content palette. We can either use a single image or a collection of images that are bundled into a ZIP file, called multi-scale icons. Supported image file formats are PNG, JPG, and SVG. If we are using multi-scale icons, the collection of images must be compressed into a ZIP file. No other format is supported. We can add custom images by either adding a file element directly into the content, or by creating a reference to a file component.
