Edit Dialog

The edit dialog allows the content author to define the title text as well as select the heading level.

  • Title - If empty the page title will be used

  • Type / Size - Defines the heading level of the title

  • Link - Defines the content to which the title will link. This can be a path to a content page, an external URL, or a page anchor.

  • ID - This option allows controlling the unique identifier of the component in the HTML.

    • If left blank, a unique ID is automatically generated for you and can be found by inspecting the resulting page.
    • If an ID is specified, it is the responsibility of the author to make sure that it is unique.
    • Changing the ID can have an impact on CSS.
