Outline

Pages help you develop holistic, engaging content by empowering you to create, curate, and blend components to create a single learning activity. Pages combine a simple, but powerful text editor with formatting tools and modular components for intuitive content development, and next-level engagement.

This article provides an overview of each component type that can be added to a page and highlights the formatting options available for each component.

Text Components

Add a Text Component

Simply start typing to add a new text component to a page.

Formatting Text Components

The styling ribbon lets you bold or italicize text, add a hyperlink, add H1 or H2 headers, create a bulleted or numbered lists, or format text as a block quote.

Selecting text in a Page opens a formatting options menu.

Heads Up!

You can use common keyboard commands within Pages to format selected text (e.g. Ctrl/Cmd + b to bold your text).
You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl/Cmd + z to undo changes to text, restoring content that was altered or deleted.

Pages support markdown to assist in formatting. For example, you can use markdown and enter *** at the beginning of a new line to separate your text or components with a horizontal line.
