The inline editor lets you:

- Control the text style and layout (1) by:
    - Applying bold or italic formatting
    - Inserting numbered or bulleted lists
- Add [images](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_livemode_image.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "As a contributor, you can quickly add images to any editable text areas on the page using an inline editor.") and [hyperlinks](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_livemode_hyperlink.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "As a contributor, you can use the inline editor to quickly add hyperlinks to text or images in any editable text areas on the page."), and remove unwanted formatting (2).
- Expand the toolbar (3) to access additional options (4–8).
- Undo and redo your edits (4).
- Control the text style and layout (5) by:
    - Applying underline formatting
    - Setting text alignment
    - Applying blockquote formatting
- Set paragraph indentation (6).
- Apply paragraph and heading styles (7).
- Apply additional styles, such as highlighting (8).

![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 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.
