Columns

Create columns

Standard content and Standard content (bottom)

For multiple selections, note that the order in which the Content types are listed in the page editor is the order that the selected content types will appear on the final page.

For example: if  Standard content and  Accordion content are selected, the accordions will appear below the section of standard content.

Multiple content types selected

Occasionally, a section of standard text needs to appear underneath a section of accordions (or another selected content type), so the  Standard content (bottom) option can be used. Content entered in the Standard content (bottom) section will appear at the very end of the page content.
