Content Snippets
Content Snippets are small pieces of customizable content that can be placed anywhere on a webpage. They are extremely useful when you want to display a certain text piece (such as an offer) at different locations on your website without needing to repeatedly write that text at multiple locations on a webpage or webpages.
Benefits of using a Content Snippet:
- Prevents you from repeatedly writing the same piece of text.
- Just create a single Content Snippet and place it at the intended locations on your website.
- Any editing done to it will be reflected in all those locations where it is placed.
