Locate an Item's Edit Page
To edit an item page, select Pages in the administrator sidebar, then select the exhibit containing the item.

For the item you want to edit, open the item’s three-dot menu, then select Edit.

Add Content to an Item Page
On the item’s edit page, locate the Body section. Select the plus (+) button above or below the Exhibit Item block, depending on where you want the new content to appear.

Select Paragraph to add a paragraph block.

You can type / in a paragraph block to choose elements to add. The menu includes the following options:
- Heading 2, Heading 3, and Heading 4
- Numbered list and Bulleted list
- Link
- Document
- Image
- Embed

You can also select text to show a formatting toolbar with similar options.

Use the pin icon to keep the toolbar at the top of the text area.

To add content from a provider that is not supported by the Embed option, select the HTML option in the formatting toolbar and add the embed code.
