To insert additional functionality in a wiki page, you can use Content droplets. Content droplets include tags that were previously accessed from Insert > Magic word in the editor toolbar. They also provide access to some templates that are preconfigured in the wiki, such as message boxes.
Adding a droplet to a page
To add a droplet to a page:
- Click the Content droplets icon in the editor toolbar or type
<<
. - Search for a droplet name in the search bar of the droplets menu or browse the droplets by category.
- Select a droplet
- Click Insert.
Based on the type of droplet, you can continue with configuring the droplet as needed.
