What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to

  • sasfafa
  • dasasfasas

create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

3. To whom do we disclose your personal data?

Your personal data will mainly be used to provide you with the services in the App and, where applicable, conduct the research project.

We may share your personal data with third parties, including research partners, in case a user is a research participant, with contractors, consultants and other third parties who require such data to assist us with managing our business. Third parties who provide us with information technology and other consultancy services may also have access to your data, as necessary.

Data within the App is stored using Google Cloud SQL, whose databases are located in the EU. It can, however not be excluded that these databases are made accessible to other Google entities which are located outside the EEA. Google has EU Processor-to-Processor Standard Contractual Clauses in place for such transfers to ensure the security and integrity of the personal data transferred.
