Simple vs. Advanced Editor

Learn how to use the Simple and the Advanced Editor when creating an Item.

When you are creating an Item, you will be able to choose whether you want to write the description in the Simple or Advanced Editor.

This article will explain the differences between the two.

Simple Editor

• The Simple Editor is the default choice. 

Open

Features:

• The magnifying glass icon allows you to search the web or upload an Item.

• You can change the font into bold, italic, or underlined.

• The links icon allows you to hyperlink to a website.

Advanced Editor

Open

Some of the more advanced features which the Advanced Editor allows are as follows:

Insert:

• You can easily insert images as well as other media.

Table:

• You can add in a table, similar to one that you would find in Excel.

Text formatting: 

• With the Advanced Editor there are more ways that you can edit text - in a way that is similar to Microsoft Word.

• See the image below to see all of the different ways you can change the text.

• You can also edit the appearance of the text, with features such as numbered lists, bullet points, highlighting and different coloured texts. See the image below for an example of all of these features.

Source Code:

• You can also add the Source Code.

• The Source Code allows you to use HTML to edit the copy - but we recommend that you only do this if you understand how to use it well.

When might you use the Source Code feature?

• You can use Source Code to embed things.

• For example, you could embed a Google Form, or an image, or a YouTube video, amongst many other things.
