You can modify the look and feel of your Help Center by changing colors and fonts. See Branding your Help Center to learn how.

You can also change the design of your Help Center. If you're comfortable working with page code, you can dig in to the site's HTML, CSS, and Javascript to customize your theme. To get started, see Customizing the Help Center.

Topic 1

You can create a content block from a single unit of content, such as a paragraph, section heading, table, code block, or bulleted list. You can also create a content block from multiple (consecutive) sections of content in an article, or even from the text of an entire article. You can use one or many content blocks within an article, alongside regular text. In this section regular text refers to any article text that you create that is not in a content block.

Content blocks created from an article assume the article’s locale, regardless of the language used within the content block itself. For example, if you create a content block from a Spanish article, the content block’s locale will also be Spanish, even if the content of the block contains English text.

To create a content block

1. If you have not done so already, save the article in which you want to create a content block.

2. In your article, select the content you want to make into a reusable content block.

   Note: If you select a fragment of text, for example, one sentence within a paragraph, the whole paragraph will be included in the new content block. A paragraph or section heading is the smallest fragment of content that you can include in a content block.

3. On the top toolbar, click the content block () icon.

   Note: When you are creating a content block from within an article, the article remains open in the background. To return to the article without saving the content block, click the breadcrumb in the upper left corner of the window.

4. Give the content block a meaningful name, so that you can easily identify it when you reuse it in other articles.

   

5. Use the toolbar and autoformatting options to format the content within the content block as needed, for example, adding bold, creating a bulleted list or table, or inserting a link or media (such as a video). See Help center article editor reference.

   Formatting the content in a content block affects all articles that use this content block.

6. Click Create.

   The content is now a content block and is stored independently for reuse by other articles. In the article, the text appears with a shaded background. You don't need to save the article to create a content block.
