Media

Media includes all images, videos and sound files used on your StoreConnect website. This includes product images.

StoreConnect stores your media on a cloud-based platform outside of the Salesforce ecosystem. This is called a Content Delivery Network (CDN).

Using our CDN, all of your media is made available to you as global resources usable anywhere on your site where you can add custom content.

Content Blocks are sections of content that can be placed anywhere you can add custom content on your website.

There are two types of Content Blocks:

• Containers

What is MARKDOWN and what does it do

Markdown is a special language that closely resembles typing a word document.

It is used to write while defining the format or style of web content without the need for HTML coding.

For example, to write the H1 title of a page using Markdown, you would write # This Is My Title where the # indicates H1 whereas ## would have inserted a H2 title.
