When you add or revise content in a scrolling exhibit, the available content options depend on the frame type. The options in frames can include Paragraph, Image, Slideshow, Transition, and Embed blocks. For more about choosing frames and blocks to build your exhibit, see Add or Revise Content in a Scrolling Exhibit.

Paragraphs

You can use either of these editing methods:

• Select existing text to display the floating toolbar. Select the pin icon to keep the toolbar visible while you work. Select it again to unpin the toolbar.
  
• Type / in a Paragraph block to insert formatting or links.

Formatting options include bold and italic, headings, numbered and bulleted lists, horizontal lines, line breaks, and links.

Images

When adding images within columns or slideshows, select Choose an image.

Selecting Choose an image opens a window with two tabs: Search and Upload. The Search tab allows you to search previously added or imported images on your DCX site. Enter search terms to filter the results if needed. Select an image to use it and close the window.

To upload an image instead, select the Upload tab, then select Choose File to locate and select an image on your computer. The Title field automatically populates with the selected file’s name. Replace it with a concise, meaningful title. The title helps identify the image in search results and is also used as its alt text. Tags are optional but can make images easier to find in larger collections.

In the Collection menu, leave the default site-level option selected to save the image with other images uploaded directly to the site.

Click the Upload button when done. 

Embeds

The embed option supports both Embed.ly and oEmbed to add third-party media into any frame type. Available sources include common platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Kaltura, Sketchfab, Flickr, Google My Maps, and more.

In the appropriate frame, add an Embed block, then enter the URL of the external item you want to include.

Slideshows in Full-Width Frames

When adding multiple images to a slideshow in a full-width frame, you can add transitions between the images.

First, add a Full width frame in the desired location, then add a Slideshow block. Next, select an Image block.

Choose or upload your image, as described above under “Images.” If desired, you can add a text overlay. Type / to insert formatted text or select existing text to display the floating toolbar. Use the pin icon to keep the toolbar visible.

When done with the first image, select the plus (+) icon directly below the “Text position” selector.

Options will appear to add either another image or a transition; select Transition.

Use the dropdown to select which transition you’d like to apply.

To complete the sequence, select the plus (+) icon directly below the transition menu, select Image, and choose or upload the next image.

To add another frame rather than another slideshow image, select the outermost plus (+) icon below the Full width frame.

Text Overlay on a Full-Width Image

When adding an Image block in a full-width frame, you can use the Text overlay section to add text. Text overlays appear with light text over a dark background for readability.

Text formatting options are the same as those described previously for paragraph blocks.

In the Text position menu, choose Center, Left, or Right.
