Title Section

As soon as you create a new Story, by default, only a Title Section (the cover) is present in the workspace. In this section the story editor can customize two different elements: the title text and the cover's background.

Content

By default, the title section has the following placeholder with an empty background behind it:

With a click inside the text area, it expands and the Text Editor Toolbar appears allowing the story editor to type and/or edit the title text:

Once the text has been written, it is possible to configure the text area position and its style from the component's toolbar:

  • The Change size button allows to change the size of the text window in Small, Medium, Large or Full.

  • The Align content button allows to align the text window, inside the Container, on the Left, Center or Right.

  • The Change field theme button allows to change the text window theme in Default (same default theme settings of the story, see Story Settings), Bright, Dark or Custom (allows to customize background and text colors and enable or disable the shadow)

  • The Remove button allows delete the title section.
