Header Component

When working within the Content Parsys all web components must first be placed inside of a Section Component

Usage

Working within the Component

The Header component is one of the simplest to use.

  1. Choose the header type you need — H2, H3, H4, or Date and enter the text you want to display.

  2. Click the check mark to save your changes and close the window. To cancel without saving, click the X.

Tip: Use one field per Header component.
For example, if you need a Header 2 followed by a Header 3, it’s best to use two separate Header components for clarity and styling flexibility.
