Buttons

Buttons are used at the end of a section or page to draw attention to important links. Buttons may also be used within specific chunk types, such as features and panels.

Use descriptive link labels with a clear call to action and wording that is unique to that page. It is best practice to keep the label specific, but brief. We recommend shortening buttons to one line of text.

To highlight a button, such as one at the end of your page, or to prompt readers to take action consider using the Call to Action chunk type.

Step 1

Expand to Section > Chunk. In the Type drop-down menu, select Text.

Step 2

Under Section > Chunk > Details, choose the location of the button and create a new line in the Content field.

Step 3

In the bottom left-hand corner of the Content field, it says “p,” which indicates an HTML paragraph tag. 

Step 4

In the toolbar, select Format > Blocks > Paragraph.

Step 5

This removes the “p” from the lower left-hand corner.

Note: The same result may be achieved by checking the HTML view and confirming there is no paragraph tag.

Step 6

Type the text for the button. Highlight the text and click the Insert/Edit Link button.

Step 7

Add either an Internal or External link.

Step 8

Select button from the Class drop-down menu. You can also highlight the text again and select Formats > Custom > Button.

Step 9

Your button should appear in the WYSIWYG editor.

Step 10

Click Save & Preview to save a draft of the page. Submit the page to add it to the folder tree. Publish the page
