# Add Content Blocks to Pages

Content blocks contain the text of your website pages, and can also house images, videos, and hyperlinks. Designers and site administrators can add content blocks to pages when in Design Mode.

To add a content block when the page is open, either drag it from the Page Elements pane onto the page or [target a container page element](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_objects_add.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Page elements are the building blocks of your site pages and page templates. Panel elements add structure to your pages. You can think of both pages and panels as “containers” for the page elements that you add to them.").

To [edit a content block](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Designers and site administrators can edit content blocks on the page. Content blocks contain the text for site pages, and can also house images, videos, and hyperlinks."), double-click it. For greater control over the text, you can edit the HTML directly by selecting the content block and clicking **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Edit HTML**.

If you make a content block in a page template editable, contributors can edit the content block in any page based on the template. To add a content block that only other site administrators or designers can edit, use [custom code](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_code_custom.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Custom code lets you customize your site using markup, such as HTML and JavaScript.") instead.

- **[Understand the Content Editing Toolbar](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_toolbar.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Designers and site administrators can edit content blocks when in Design mode. Content blocks contain the site page's text, along with images, videos, and hyperlinks.
- **[Edit Content Blocks in Design Mode](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Designers and site administrators can edit content blocks on the page. Content blocks contain the text for site pages, and can also house images, videos, and hyperlinks.
- **[Add Images to Content Blocks in Design Mode](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_image.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Designers and site administrators can add images to content blocks when viewing a page in Design Mode.
- **[Add Video to Content Blocks in Design Mode](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_video.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Designers and site administrators can add YouTube®, Google®, Adobe® Flash®, Windows Media®, and Apple QuickTime® videos to content blocks when viewing a page in Design Mode.
- **[Attach Hyperlinks to Text and Images in Design Mode](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_hyperlink.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    When viewing a page in Design Mode, designers and site administrators can create hyperlinks to external Web pages or websites, pages and assets in the site, email messages, and anchors on the page.
- **[Add Anchors to Pages in Design Mode](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_anchor.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    An anchor is an invisible marker that identifies a particular location on a page. If you’re a designer or site administrator, you can add an anchor to the page and then create a hyperlink that jumps to that specific location, which can be useful if a page is particularly long. For example, if your page has several sections, you could add links to each section at the top of the page to aid navigation.
