Combining content templates allows you to create flexible, engaging modules by mixing full-page and partial-page layouts. This guide will show you how to combine two partial page templates, so you can customise your content and improve the learner experience.
What Are Content Templates?
Content templates are pre-designed layouts you can use to build your modules. There are two main types:
Full-page templates: Fill the entire page or scrolling section.
Partial-page templates: Occupy only part of the page or a section.
You can edit and combine these templates to suit your needs. Please note: you need Edit content permission to access the Content editor.
