Add a colour block to your HighlightBox page

The highlight box widget you created is programmed to find the hidden sub-page called 'HighlightBox' and pull any items from it. To add a colour block to your highlight box, follow these steps:

  1. Find the hidden 'HighlightBox' page in your site structure;
  2. Hover over the yellow drop down button and click 'Add content';
  3. A list of content will appear. Select the item called 'Colour block';
  4. A form appears. Complete it as follows:
Field title What should I do? Is it compulsory?
Name* Name the block and give it a concise description e.g. 'Colour block - training page'. This is for your reference and the user does not see this. Yes
Heading* Give the block a heading. This appears at the top of the colour block and is visible to the user. Yes

Colour* Select which colour you want to use. Find out more information about choosing colours in the Colour theme section. Yes, defaults to Primary colour palette
