When the page is open in Design Mode:

1. Double-click the content block on the page.
2. Add or edit text and format it using 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.").
    
    ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/images/icon_tip.png)
    
    Tip
    
    - If you copy and paste text from Microsoft® Office, highlight the text and click ![Remove formatting pasted from Microsoft Office](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_cleanformatting.png) to remove any hidden formatting, which can adversely affect how the text appears on the page.
    - Avoid applying formatting, such as different fonts or highlighting, directly to text whenever possible. Instead, it’s best practice to use the paragraph and heading styles to quickly apply consistent formatting throughout the site. Using paragraph and heading styles also ensures that all page text is updated automatically if a site administrator or designer modifies these styles.
3. Add [images](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."), [videos](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."), [hyperlinks](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."), or [anchors](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.") as required.
4. Click **Save**.

Note The content of all editable page elements on a child page or template is linked to the content of the editable elements on its parent page template. When you update the content of an editable page element on the parent template, the changes are pushed down to any child pages or page templates. However, if you modify the content of an editable page element at the child page or template level, you break the link between the elements, and any subsequent changes made to the page element on the parent template don't trickle down to its children.
