Inserting Snippets

Authors can insert snippets in Flare Online's Content Editor.

Note Inserting snippets is available only for authors, and only in the Content Editor accessed from the project's Workspace page (see Step 2: Authoring and Workspace). It is not available in the editor that is used for topic reviews.

Note For more information about snippets, see the Flare Desktop Help system.

Permission Required?

Editing content and project files is an activity available to users with the Author status. By default, users with Author status have the following permissions set:

  • If this is deselected, then viewing files in a read-only mode is allowed. On the left side of the page, the Files vertical three-dot menu is not available.

  • If this is deselected, the XHTML in the Code view is read-only.

    Editing code is regarded as a capability for an advanced user. If not done properly, the code can become malformed quickly. Administrators can prevent users from editing the code by deselecting the Edit Code permission.

For more information about permissions, see Setting User Permissions or Setting Team Permissions.
