When in Design Mode, you can use the content editing toolbar to:

- Undo and redo your edits, and remove the formatting of text copied and pasted from Microsoft® Office, which can often include hidden formatting (1).
- Cut, copy, and paste text (2).
- Apply direct formatting (3), such as:
    - Font family and size
    - Bold, italic, underline, subscript, superscript, and strikethrough
    - Font and highlight color
- Control the text style and layout (4) by:
    - Applying paragraph and heading styles
    - Setting paragraph indentation
    - Left-aligning, centering, right-aligning, or justifying text
    - Inserting numbered or bulleted lists
- Insert a table, and add rows, columns, and spacing (5).
- 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."), and special characters (6).
- Add and remove [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.") and [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.") (7).

![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.
