Managing Clips

Taylor Sloane Updated by Taylor Sloane

Ever needed to use the same text or HTML in multiple articles? We got you. Clips lets you do just that.

Accessing Clips

  1. You can access Clips from the sidebar under Clips (or click here)
  2. From here you can select a Clip from the list

Easy as that!

A Clip is not linked to the original Clip in any way so don't worry about editing or deleting it. You can always hit Cmd-Z and try again 🙃

Clip Features Based on User Role

Differen't members of your team will have different Clips permissions based on their user role. Here's a breakdown of the Clip features each user role has access to.

When to Use Clips

There's two main use cases for Clips. 

  1. Complicated HTML blocks that you can use to add functionality
    This is great if you have an HTML block that's complicated and you don't wanna recreate it each time. Also useful if you have something you use all the time.
  2. Entire article templates
    Make the same kinda article a lot? Create a template of it in Clips and reuse to your heart's content. This is great for FAQ templates or other structured content.
We recommend you differentiate between these by naming them something memorable. Try using TEMPLATE: or SECTION: as prefixes for your titles.
