Snippet Collection

Usage

Insert Snippet Collection on a page. Add a row for each snippet with Add Snippet, then pick the snippet. Optional Custom Title, Custom Excerpt, and Custom Image override that snippet for this placement only.

On the front end, visitors click a tile to reveal that snippet’s body underneath. Click the same tile again to hide it.

When to use it

Use it when several related snippets belong together β€” service blurbs, product how-tos, or staff bios β€” and visitors should choose one at a time. Prefer a single Snippet block when only one piece of content should sit in the page flow.

Tips

  • Display styles the clickable tiles. Snippet Display styles the revealed body below.
  • Set Headlines, Excerpts, and Images away from hidden before the matching custom fields appear on each row.
  • Featured video on a snippet fills the tile when you leave Custom Image empty.
