In most areas of the system where text can be entered, you can control the appearance of your text using the Rich Text Editor (RTE), sometimes called a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. The RTE toolbar has icons for editing and formatting your text. The Rich Text Editor enables a site to include images, links, audio, and video in addition to text.
The Rich Text Editor is based on an open source application called CKEditor. For more information on the CKEditor, you may also refer to the CKEditor 4 Documentation Site.
Note: Pasting text into the Rich Text Editor should preserve most formatting, but some types of formatting, such as colored text, may need to be added manually in the editor after pasting.
Rich Text Editor toolbar
The Rich Text Editor toolbar contains an array of icons. See What actions can I perform using the Rich Text Editor icons? for more information on individual icon functionality.
By default, the Rich Text Editor toolbar displays a single line of icons. To expand the toolbar to view additional icons, select the Expand Toolbar caret at the beginning of the single line toolbar.
In expanded view, select the Collapse Toolbar arrow again to go back to the default, single line view.
