Rich Text
Rich text lets users edit formatted long-form content.
Rich text is useful for formatted descriptions, web copy, email bodies, announcements, biographies, instructions, and content with links or emphasis. It is an input component, so it reads from and saves to one field on the record.
When to Use It
Use rich text when users need formatting, links, headings, or embedded visual content.
Rich text is a better fit than a plain text area when the content may be published, sent to customers, or read as a composed piece of communication. For internal notes without formatting, use Text Area.
What Can Be Configured
Editing Experience
The editor can be compact or more spacious depending on how central the content is. Helper text can explain tone, length, or required structure.
Media and HTML
Projects can allow embedded images when the workflow needs visual content. Advanced projects can also expose an HTML view when trusted users need direct control over markup.
Layout
Rich text usually needs a wide area so users can read and edit comfortably. It often belongs in a content block or full-width section.
Conditional Display
The editor can be hidden or made read-only based on workflow state, publication status, or user permissions.
