Using the TinyMCE Editor​

The TinyMCE rich-text editor is available in various content types, including pages, blocks, and catalog entries (if Optimizely Commerce Connect is installed). It allows you to create and manage rich content with formatting and media elements.

​Depending on your site’s configuration, the editor may include different plug-ins or button sets. The available options are determined by your site administrator or developer.​

You can:​

• Enter and format text with bold, italic, lists, and other styling options​

• Insert links to internal pages or external URLs​

• Add images and tables to structure your content visually​

• Drag and drop blocks or pages directly into the editor to create links​

• Use paragraph styles retrieved from your site’s CSS for consistent formatting

The Paragraph dropdown includes predefined formats, such as heading styles, introduction text, or layout options for images and tables. This ensures your content aligns with the site’s design standards.​

​Spell Checking​

You can use your browser’s built-in spell checker or enable the Spell Checker app from Optimizely for enhanced proofreading capabilities.​
