What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Sharing Files & Inviting Users

Inviting users to your Neatly dashboard

Invited users can only see a category (and its files) if they were given invited to the specific category.

For example, if your Neatly dashboard has three categories and you invite a user to one of them, they will not be aware that the other two categories exist (i.e. they won’t see them in Neatly).
