When to use the Free text block component

Use the Free text block component to add a short amount of text to a Campaign page.

Things to avoid

If you have a lot of text, don't put it all into a Free text block component. It will be clearer and easier to read if you separate it into different Text and image blocks with appropriate headings.

If you need to add a heading, summary, or image with your text, use a Text and image block.

Finding the Free text block component

To find the component:

1. Open the drop-down menu under 'Drag and drop components'.
2. Select 'Free text block'.
3. Select 'Add component'.

The Free text block component will appear beneath 'Component(s) currently in use'.

You can only add one Free text block component to a page.

Adding content to the Free text block component

Add your text to the 'Text' field.

You can use up to 2,000 characters including Markdown formatting and spaces.

You can type directly into the content fields or copy and paste text from somewhere else, like a Word document.

Moving your content around the page

You can drag and drop the Free text block to reorder the components on a page.

Click 'Collapse this section' to minimise a Free text block component while you work on other areas of the page. The component will still appear on the preview and published pages if you collapse part of the template.
