About directly embedded content items

When a content item is directly embedded, visitors can interact with the item on the page where it is embedded. For example, you might directly embed a Video on an Article page. This lets visitors play the Video without leaving the Article page.

Pangea CMS lets you directly embed the following content items:

Text

Backgrounder

Multimedia

Audio clip | Audio feature | Broadcast program | Document | Photo gallery | Slider gallery | Video

Interactive

Dynamic infographics | Poll | Quiz | Snippet | Static infographics
