Image GalleryInstructions for home page banner images, wide images, standard images next to paragraphs, and galleries are all provided here.
Adding Documents to a PageA document is not added onto a page by using any specific template like other multimedia components. Rather, text is hyperlinked to a document component, which allows for the user to download the document from your site once published.
Video GalleryAfter uploading your video file or YouTube component, inserting a video player onto the page requires only a few steps. See below for different ways you can publish a video player in Tridion.
Audio PlayerFeaturing audio content on your page can be done by inserting a Right Column Audio Player and/or multiple Audio Players to create a Music Gallery.
