Use a text element

Use a text element to store a short section of text.

To create a text element, you can either add a text element to an authoring template, site, site area or content item, or create a text component.

• Creating a text component

  You create a text component when you want to reuse a section of text in multiple places in your Web site.

• Add a text element to an item

  You add a text element to a site, site area or content item when you want a section of text to be used for a specific site area or content item.

• Add a text element to a template

  You add a text element to an authoring template when you want the text element to be used by a set of content items that use the same authoring template.
