3.4 - Conditional Content

Add Conditional Content to a Page

1. Open a page in Edit mode and place the courser where you want conditional content or highlight content that you want to be conditional.
2. From the Editor toolbar, select Style and choose one of the conditional text options:
   • Conditional text (anonymous only)
   • Conditional text (community member only)
   • Conditional text (pro member only) 
   • Conditional text (group only) 
3. The conditional content container appears and is an editable field.
4. If you select Conditional Text (group only), click None in the conditional block header to trigger the drop-down menu for Select a group, and select your desired group name. To change the target group, click the group name in the conditional block header to trigger the drop-down menu, and change the selection.
5. Click Save.

Change or Remove Conditional Content

Conditional content containers function as a toggle. To change the target subset of users, highlight the text, and select a different conditional content type from the Style menu. To remove conditional content, highlight the text, and re-select the active conditional content type.

You can also use shift + enter to create a new line below the conditional content block.

How Search Engines Handle Conditional Content

Search engines (including the MindTouch search engine) can only find content that is publicly available. Content that you include as conditional for Community Members, Pro Members, or Group users who must log in to see it, will not be visible to search engines.

Examples of Conditional Content

Use conditional content whenever you need to control who sees what information on a page: 

• Internal users need access to proprietary information on a page. 
• Technical notes should only be seen by your support team.
• Editors need to "hide" information until it is vetted.
