Snippets

Updated

Snippets are reusable pieces of content. Write them once under Manifest, then place them on any page.

Create a snippet

  1. Go to Manifest → Snippets → Add New Snippet
  2. Add a title (and an excerpt if listings should show a summary)
  3. Write inside the locked Snippet Page block
  4. Optional: set a Featured Image or Featured Video (MP4, in the Featured Video panel) in the sidebar
  5. Publish

The snippet’s own page shows the title, excerpt, and media, then your blocks.

Snippets can have a parent in Page Attributes, but the site does not add document-style sidebar, trail, or previous/next navigation for that tree. Nesting is for your own organization only.

Place it on a page

  1. Edit a page
  2. Insert Snippet to show one snippet, or Snippet Collection to show several
  3. Pick the snippet (or add rows in a collection)
  4. Publish the page

Use Snippet when one piece of content should sit in the page flow. Use Snippet Collection when visitors should pick among several snippets.

Tips

  • Edit the snippet itself, not the pages it sits on. Every page that shows it updates when you save the snippet.
  • A custom title, excerpt, or image on the Snippet block changes that one placement only.
  • Each snippet also has its own page at /snippets/{name}/. Most sites only show snippets inside other pages, so link there only if you want it to stand alone.
