Using the Markdown editor
When you add a Markdown component, you can edit the copy as you want to, but it can be a little confusing when you're not used to using Markdown. How it looks on your site will depend on how your developers have assigned the styling in the code.
Accessing the Markdown editor
- Add the Markdown component to your page
- Click the edit icon in the settings panel, this opens the Markdown editor
- Write what you'd like to on the left of your screen and how it will look is displayed on the right
- Click the Done button to return to the page builder where you can preview and save your changes
Be sure to save (or publish) the page version in the page builder or your changes in the markdown editor won't be saved.
