    Vorbereitungen

    Role required: sn_cd.content_manager

    After you have completed the New content form (see Create rich content) and navigated to the Rich content canvas, you can create rich content.

    You can add 1, 2, or 3 columns. Each column acts as a container for other components. Each column component can also be edited by selecting the component and updating the properties under settings.
    Hinweis:
    The minimum height for a cell within a column is 75px. If you set the cell height smaller, the cell overflows the row.

    2. From the Rich Content Editor canvas, you can use a drag-and-drop method to add columns.
