Getting Started with LibGuides

A standard box displays content items (i.e. text, images, links, etc.) directly on your page. This is the simplest and most common box type.

A tabbed box is like combining several standard boxes in one, each visible by clicking on a tab. This can help you organize related content inside of a single box, but try to use these sparingly -- too many tabs and tabbed boxes can make a page difficult to navigate.

A gallery box contains slides of content that, similar to a slide show, users can scroll through. You can create slides containing an image, a Book from the Catalog asset, a Database from your A-Z Database List, or a guide screenshot.

You can add a profile box to any page, which can be configured to display the profile box for any user in your LibGuides system.

The following options can help you further customize each box.

• How to edit a box's title
  Learn how to rename your box, which appears in the box's heading.
• Change a box's visibility with Draft Mode
  To keep a box hidden from public view, you can put it into Draft Mode. This is particularly helpful when working on a published guide, as it allows you to hide a box from users until its ready.
• Display a box without a header or border
  The floating box option allows you to hide any box's header and borders on the public page (in other words, it's like the content is floating outside of a box).
• Reorder and move boxes
  Learn how to reorder boxes on a page and move boxes between pages.
• View a box's link or widget embed code
  If you would like to share a box outside of LibGuides, you can find its direct link, as well as HTML code you can use to embed it directly into another webpage.
• Delete a box
  Learn how to remove a box and its content from your page.
