Organizing Text Content

Further organization and optimization of page content can make the user experience more enjoyable and helps the audience consume the content the way you intended.

Below you'll learn about creating tables and toggles, adding file downloads, list components for news feeds, and tags and filtering options.

Files

The download component creates a link to a file stored in the DAM of AEM. It automatically determines the file format and displays a corresponding file format icon as part of the download link.

 Design Guidelines

Each download item is an individual component. Create a section for download items, such as a colored block or outline block to place multiple download items. Or place download components below a text area.
