How to Edit Content Embedded in the WYSIWYG

To edit a micro-content, content, or media that is embedded in the WYSIWYG of another content, you can either:

    2. Navigate to the appropriate library through the tabs toward the top: micro-content, content, or media.

    3. Find the content you want to edit in the library, and click the “Edit” button from its tablet row.

    4. Edit the content as needed, and save your changes.

  • Get to the embedded content through the page on which it is embedded:

    1. Go to the Edit screen for the page .

    2. Find the embed in the WYSIWYG box (indicated by a grey rectangle labelled with the title of the content).

    3. Double-click the grey box.

    4. Click “Edit” in the “Embed content” window that pops up. That will open a whole new browser window for the edit screen of the embedded micro-content, content, or media.

    5. Edit the content as needed, and save your changes.

If the same content is embedded in multiple places, any updates to one placement will affect all placements. Before editing the content, make sure to check all placements to see that the edit is appropriate everywhere this content is displayed. Check placements in the Usage tab.
