Content Snippet is a global content declaration component in Power Pages that allows developers to manage and reuse content efficiently across the website. Snippets can be used in header, footer, webpages, and web templates. Developers can also insert content snippets using Liquid code, making it flexible and dynamic.
Why Use Content Snippets?
Developers need to display the same content across multiple web pages. Instead of duplicating the content manually, Content Snippets enable you to define it once and use it wherever needed, making updates simple and consistent.
Types of Content Snippets
- HTML
- Supports raw HTML and CSS.
- Ideal for styled sections like banners, call-to-actions, or embedded widgets.
- Gives full flexibility to customize the content.
- Text

- Best suited for plain text like titles, labels, or quick messages.
- Easily editable by content authors.
