To Insert a Variable
Website Builder allows you to insert variables in your Web page. You may want to consider using a variable if the name of your company; copyright date; email address; or page browser, button, or heading title might change. You use the variable in place of the item. If you change the item name, Website Builder automatically updates it in your Web page content where you inserted the variable as a placeholder.
- Log in to your Website Builder account.
- From the Design menu, click Page Designer.
- If necessary, from the Select Page list, select the page you want to edit.
- Click the block you want to edit. Blocks are outlined in blue.
- Position your cursor where you want to add the variable.
- Go to the Insert tab, move your mouse over Pre-defined, and then select the variable you want to insert.
