Add or Revise Content in a Scrolling ExhibitAdd or Revise Content in a Scrolling Exhibit
This page describes how to build a scrolling exhibit in DCX by adding frames to it. See Create a New Scrolling Exhibit if you first need to create a scrolling exhibit, or see DCX Scrolling Exhibits Overview to learn about scrolling exhibits and how they differ from standard exhibits.
Add Frames to a Scrolling Exhibit
The Body section on the scrolling exhibit edit page is where you can add frames to form your scrolling exhibit. Each scrolling exhibit can have up to 20 frames.
Steps to add a frame:
- Select the plus (+) Insert a block button in the Body section.
- Choose a frame type: One column, Two column, or Full width.
- Select the content block(s) you wish to display in the frame. Block options differ depending on frame type and include paragraphs, images, embeds, and slideshows. More about working with each type of content block is available in Content Types in Scrolling Exhibits.
-
One or two column frame: You can select a Paragraph, Image, or Embed block.
In a two column frame, these options will appear twice so you can make block selections for both the left and right columns. -
Full-width frame: You can select either a Slideshow or an Embed.
Selecting the Slideshow block allows you to add a single image in the frame or, if desired, add a slideshow with sequential full-width images and transitions.
-
One or two column frame: You can select a Paragraph, Image, or Embed block.
- To add another frame, select the plus (+) Insert a block icon that appears above or below an existing frame and then select a frame type (as in step two above).
Tips:
- Click a frame heading (e.g., “One column”) to collapse it if you'd like to conserve space while working on other sections. Click a collapsed heading again to expand it.
- Text within a Paragraph block supports two editing methods: type
/to insert supported elements, or select existing text to open a floating formatting toolbar, which can be pinned in place. See Content Types in Scrolling Exhibits for the full list of formatting supported in this field.
Move or Revise Content
You can move, remove, add, or replace content in an exhibit using the icons that appear at the top right of each frame, block, or column.
To move a frame to a different position, use the six-dot Drag handle or the up and down arrows:
Other actions:
- To duplicate a frame or column, select the pages Duplicate icon.
- To delete a frame or other element, select the trash can Delete icon.
- In two-column frames, you can replace or move columns by first deleting them with the trash can icon, then using the plus (+) Insert a block button to add a new column in the desired position.
To edit a scrolling exhibit that was created previously, select Pages in the administrator sidebar, then select the pencil icon to the right of the exhibit name.
