Template 4 content types

As you start to create and edit your web pages, you'll discover that each page in Cascade is a collection of content types (known as "components"), each designed to hold a certain type of content.

Many of these components are available for you to add directly to a page, but some of them are intended for specific uses, and require admin access to add them to your page or site.

Images

When uploading new images to your page, be sure to note the required size for the image component you'll be using.

You should crop and resize your image to the correct dimensions, and compress the size of the image file before uploading to Cascade.
