## Summary of Microsites

The Rich Content Editor in ServiceNow's Employee Center Pro enables content managers and admins to create HTML-based content for microsites and portal pages using a visual drag-and-drop interface.
It requires little to no HTML or CSS knowledge, empowering non-technical users to build and customize page sections independently without IT assistance.
The editor provides a component library and a canvas for assembling content, supporting previews across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Content respects the portal's theme and colors unless custom styles are applied.

Rich Content Editor enables content managers and admins to create HTML-based content for the Employee Center Pro topic and portal pages using a visual drag-and-drop interface.
You can create a layout, add components (such as containers, images, videos, and links), and adjust the settings of the components with little or no HTML or CSS (cascading style sheets) knowledge. The Rich Content Editor allows
non-technical users to build sections of pages without the help of IT or technical users.

The Rich Content Editor provides a library of components and a canvas area, where you use drag-and-drop method to create your content. The components can be edited individually and you can preview what you are creating on a
desktop, tablet, or mobile device before you make your content available to your audience.  
Creating content does not interfere with your portal theme or color. Published content that does not use custom style changes uses the theme of the underlying portal page.  
Note:  
The Rich Content Editor uses the sn_cd.preview.portal_url_suffix sys property to determine the portal theme to use for the content you create. Using the preview portal when creating rich content reflects the portal theme to provide an example of how the content will appear. For more information, see [Properties installed with Content Publishing](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/L9ws2girAkEUJbN0D4Eupg "The Content Publishing [com.sn_content_delivery] plugin adds the following properties that are designed to control how scheduled jobs work in relation to notifications, to-dos, and communities.").

## Overview of building microsites {#ec-rich-content__section_pzv_1fv_jyb}

The Rich Content Editor makes it possible to build HTML content with little or no HTML or CSS (cascading style sheets) knowledge, using the following process:

1. Create the Rich Content type record: [Create rich content](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/46Yytg7p_Z0EU4bv2iPZrg "Use the Rich Content Editor to build long form content with an easy to use web styled tool.")
2. Create the page layout.
   * Modules are predefined content layouts comprised of header, paragraph text, and images. See [Add predefined content layouts with the Rich Content Editor](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/drbYzg0dNbKpG2hVkaZH2A "Use modules to easily add new content layouts containing headers, paragraph text, and images. Choose from layouts comprised of three vertical cards, three horizontal cards, or a side-by-side configuration with an image positioned to the right of a text block.")
   * Columns are containers that enable you to define a custom layout. See [Add columns with the Rich Content Editor](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/XokvUE1o1xCk7zG2lsoiHQ "Use the Rich Content Editor canvas to create columns to help define and organize your layout for your page.")
   {#ec-rich-content__ul_jzv_qft_wxb}
3. Add components such as images, videos, text boxes, and buttons.
4. Change the canvas size to create content for tablet and mobile.  
   Note:  
   For best results when creating content for all three platforms, first create your content for desktop, then tablet and mobile.
5. (Optional) Select a different language to view your session in or request a language translation for the content you are creating. For more information, see [Multilingual support in the Content Library](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/vNrMnMw5eiAUqsclxNJ6EQ "The Content Library includes two features for multilingual content creation: Translate content (content translation workflow) and Switch language (changes the interface language).").
6. Make the content available to users via a publish plan: [Create a publish plan for your content](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/K_PV48_Y0TWxu8QepscEEw "After you create content in the Content Library, add one or more publish plans to control where the content is delivered, the audience, and the period of time it is available.")

   Alternatively, you can build out a more robust publishing configuration using campaigns: [Creating campaigns](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/BznJvaIApBsddDGT6Wqviw "Campaigns offer a powerful content publishing tool that provides organizations with the ability to efficiently deliver targeted information to their employees. As a content manager, you can configure multiple channels to ensure content reaches the intended audience at the optimal time.")
{#ec-rich-content__ol_n3g_2fv_jyb}

## Rich Content Editor interface {#ec-rich-content__section_gm5_h3d_mbc}

The Rich Content Editor interface is comprised of a canvas where you assemble the content, content components that you drag-and-drop into the canvas, and menu bar icons to modify the canvas.  
Note:  
If the Edit Source code icon does not appear, ask an admin to enable the Edit code property. See [Properties installed with Content Publishing](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/L9ws2girAkEUJbN0D4Eupg "The Content Publishing [com.sn_content_delivery] plugin adds the following properties that are designed to control how scheduled jobs work in relation to notifications, to-dos, and communities.")

When you select a component, a toolbar appears at its top-left corner, allowing you to manipulate the component directly. Each component offers a variety of customization options that are accessed from the
Settings tab.

## Keyboard shortcuts for accessibility {#ec-rich-content__section_wl3_3zj_ydc}

You can assemble microsites and news articles in the Rich Content Editor using a keyboard for improved accessibility.

The Rich Content Editor supports many operating system and text formatting shortcuts, including Save, Bold, and Undo. In Content Publishing versions 33.0.9 and later, users can navigate the top toolbar and style manager using the
right, left, up, and down arrow keys. You can use these additional keyboard shortcuts to support your content creation:  
{#ec-rich-content__table_wqd_zcb_fbb__entry__3}

| Action | Mac keyboard shortcut | Windows keyboard shortcut |
|-|-|-|
| Paste and match style of selected text box | Shift+Option+Command+V | Shift+Alt+Windows+V |
[Table 1. Keyboard shortcuts]

{#ec-rich-content__table_wqd_zcb_fbb}

See [Next Experience keyboard shortcuts](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=next-experience-keyboard-shortcuts&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US) for additional information.

## Searching for Rich content {#ec-rich-content__section_txp_vby_rcc}

When employees enter a keyword in the global search bar, Employee Center uses AI Search to return published pages containing that keyword in the content name or body.

AI Search returns additional results based on user roles:

* Users with either the system admin or content admin role can see unpublished content.
* For users with the content manager, content admin, or content approver roles, search results include content for which they are not the audience. However, they cannot view the content unless they are part of the configured audience.
