Editor Overview

The Affinity content authoring editing platform allows you to create rich content across many sections and pages, consisting of video, images, questions, and other interactive content like flip cards.

The Affinity content editor allows for a very seamless and easy experience to create rich and engaging content for your learners.

The editor allows you to create rich content in three key ways:

  • Powerful Toolbar

  • Slash commands

  • Drag and Drop builder

  • Inline Builder

  • Context Editor

The Affinity content authoring editor is best used in full screen mode on a laptop or external monitor.

Demo

Powerful Toolbar

At the top of the editor is a toolbar with many of the options for inserting rich content. This toolbar is horizontally scrollable, so if you are on a smaller screen size, you can scroll it to see additional options.

Clicking on an item from the toolbar will immediately add it to the editor where your cursor is.

Slash Commands

The editor also supports slash command interactivity for all of our components. To start using the slash commands, have your cursor located somewhere in the editor window and type slash /. This will open a dropdown of options. You can either use the up and down arrows to choose an option or you can click on your choice.

Drag and Drop Builder

The drag and drop builder allows you to see a list of all possible content options and click and drag into the appropriate part of your course. This builder also supports pre-built templates and layouts to make it even easier to build your courses. And, there is a custom image search to provide rich media without having to upload yourself.

Inline Builder

The inline builder is a context menu next to each line in the current page content. You can click on the plus + icon to activate the inline builder. What you choose will be appended to the next line from where. you have clicked the + icon.

Context Editor

For some elements, if you select them, you will see a hover context editor toolbar above them. With this toolbar you can do things like:

  • Set font choices

  • Set foreground and background colors

  • Set alignments

  • Add a hyperlink
