You can

  • Add, remove, arrange, and resize sections (based on a template)

  • Change copy (text), images, shapes, videos, links

  • Configure elements

You can not

  • Add, remove, reposition, or resize elements

  • Change the style of elements, such as text font and color

The Content Editor is accessed:

From the Design Editor:

  • Click on "Content" in the bottom-left bar.

If you're on the Organization plan, which allows for specific roles, Content Editors will automatically enter the project in the Content Editor mode.
