WHAT IS IT?

Dynamic Content is content that is set in one location in the back end of the site and can be reused in several locations across the site. It provides a single source of truth and an efficient workflow.

HOW TO USE IT?

All Dynamic Content Types have their own section in the back-end editor. They all have links in the left sidebar with the ability to add, update and delete. These areas of the back end of the site are considered the single source of truth. If the content is deleted from these areas in the back end of the site, the content will be removed from the live site as well.

Dynamic Content can be setup as standalone pages (Dynamic Content Pages) or they can be used as card elements within other pages (Dynamic Content Elements).
