One Church uses the same rich-text editor everywhere you can write formatted content: email composition, group and event descriptions, position descriptions, and any other field that accepts HTML. This article walks through what each toolbar button does so you can find what you need at a glance.
Toolbar buttons
From left to right:
Merge Variables - drop in personalization placeholders (for example, the recipient's first name) when the field supports it. Replaces the old Personalize dropdown.
Bold - bolds the highlighted text. Shortcut: ⌘B (Mac) / Ctrl+B (Windows).
Italic - italicizes the highlighted text. Shortcut: ⌘I / Ctrl+I.
More Text - expands a small menu with extra text-formatting options: Underline, Strikethrough, Font Family, Font Size, Text Color, Background Color, and Clear Formatting.
Align Left - left-aligns the current paragraph.
Align Center - center-aligns the current paragraph.
Ordered List - turns the current line(s) into a numbered list.
More Paragraph - expands a small menu with extra paragraph options: Align Right, Align Justify, additional list styles, Unordered List, Line Height, Decrease Indent, Increase Indent, and Quote.
Document Library - opens the church's document library so you can attach a file that lives in One Church.
Upload File - uploads a file from your computer and inserts it as a download link. The file is attached to this message only and is not saved to the document library.
Insert Link - turns the highlighted text into a hyperlink. Shortcut: ⌘K / Ctrl+K.
Insert Image - uploads an image from your computer and places it inline. Shortcut: ⌘P / Ctrl+P.
More Rich - expands a small menu with richer content options: Insert Video, Insert Table, Special Characters, and Insert Horizontal Line.
Code View - switches the editor to raw HTML so anyone comfortable with HTML can edit the underlying markup directly. Click again to switch back to the visual editor.
More Misc - expands a small menu with miscellaneous tools: Fullscreen, Print, and Help.
Quick-insert button
When your cursor sits on an empty line, a small circular + appears just to the left of the editor. Click it to insert content (image, table, video, etc.) on that line without going up to the toolbar. The same options are also available from the toolbar's More Rich menu.
Auto-expanding height
As you type, the content area grows to fit your text. There's no inner scrollbar to fight with: you can always see everything you've written in one place.
Picking an email template
When you're composing an email, you'll see a Template field above the Body editor (not in the toolbar). Use it to load a previously designed email template into the body, then customize as needed.
