The superordinate term Web content is used to describe content that you display on Web pages, such as articles, link lists, and images.

You create Web content in the following ways:

  • You can upload images and HTML files that you created on your local PC.

  • You can create articles, link lists, and other item types online using forms.

Points to consider when choosing a storage location

Before creating or uploading Web content, decide on the storage location: do you want to use your Web content on a single Web page, or on several Web pages in an area, or on several Web pages in several areas?

  • If you want to use Web content (for example, an article) on a single Web page, you create that content within the Web page itself.

    You cannot reuse this Web content on other Web pages and you can use it only once within the same page.

  • If you want to use Web content (for example, a banner) on more than one page, you have to store that content in a KM shared content folder, such as the Global Shared Content folder or a Shared Content folder of an area.
