Create a Reusable Admonition

There are two ways to create admonitions (Note, Warning, Caution, Danger, Notice, Important, or Tip). You can create them as elements in a topic, see Admonitions or you can create them as reusable pieces of content.

To create a reusable admonition:

  1. Select the Dotted menu (... ) to the right of the folder to store the new content in the Content Manager.

    If a suitable folder does not already exist, you can create a new one (Create Folder).
