Add default content to template modules to create a starting point for pages, posts, emails or other assets that use the template. Default content appears automatically when a module is first added in the content editor.
Default content can also be locked at the template level to prevent edits in the content editor.
Understand limitations & considerations
- Once a module's content is edited in the content editor, updates to default content in the design manager don't replace the edited version of that module.
Add default content to a module
- Click on the name of your content.
- For blog posts and pages:
- In the content editor, click the Settings menu, then select Template.
