Associating curated style groups with content types


You can associate curated style groups with content types to ensure editors always choose the right module for a given content type.

To associate curated style groups with content types:

  1. Click menu > Admin > Sites & Settings.
  2. In the Sites widget, select the site for which you want to associate curated style groups with content types, or select Global to configure the association for all sites.
  3. Expand CMS > Style Groups.
  4. Click add_circle_outline Add Curated Style Group.
  5. In the Display Name field, enter a name for this curated style group. This display name appears as the curated style group in the module picker (see the illustration "Dynamic modules for a content type" in Understanding content types and dynamic modules).
  6. In the Types field, click add_circle_outline to add one or more content types.
  7. In the Styles field, do the following:
    1. Click add_circle_outline Add Module to open the module picker.
    2. In the left rail, select one of the categories.
    3. In the right rail, select one of the modules.

    5. Repeat steps a–d to add additional modules. Your widget looks similar to the following.

  8. Click Save.
