Common Formatting Tools​

Bold Text​

Use bold text for emphasis inside learner-facing or message-facing content.

Italicized Text​

Use italic text for light emphasis, examples, or short notes.

Underlined Text​

Use underlined text carefully. Underlining text that is not a link can be confusing.

Heading Style H1​

Use H1 for the main heading inside message content when a large heading is needed.

Heading Style H2​

Use H2 for secondary headings inside message content.

Numbered List​

Use numbered lists when the order of items matters.

Bulleted List​

Use bulleted lists when the order of items does not matter.

Adding Link To Text​

Use link formatting when selected text should open another page or resource.

Add Button To Text​

Use button formatting when a link should be visually emphasized as a call to action.

Normal​

Use Normal for standard body text in content descriptions.

Undo Text Changes​

Use Undo text changes to remove formatting from selected text.
