  2. Use the Content Builder here to create your content in the same way you would create a template. Click here for more details.

Create content library items from a template/document

Add a single block, the whole page, or a template/document to the Content Library.

  1. In your document or template, select the block you’d like to add, click on the Add to Library button on the floating panel

  4. Choose to add this as a brand new item, or append it to the end of an existing item

Note: You cannot add Page Header and Footer to the Content Library.

If you'd like to save blocks in a multi-column layout to the Content Library, you can:

  • either save the whole page to the Content Library

  • or recreate the layout inside the Content Library item

Add from your Content Library

To add a content library item to your template, document, content library item, or form, first select the content library icon on the right sidebar. Then, select an item under either the Recent or Featured tab, then drag and drop the item once a blue indicator line appears on a page.

Tip:

Use the search bar to find an item under the Recent or Featured tab.

Under the Featured tab, you’ll find layout samples created by the PandaDoc Design team. These can help you easily create a template, document, content library item, or form in a handful of clicks.

Under the Recent tab, you’ll find any content library items you’ve recently added to any template, document, or form in the active workspace.

You can also add a content library item between pages — it will be added on a separate, automatically created page. Drag your item between pages in your template, document, content library item, or form, then drop it when a blue indicator line appears.

  2. Search for your library item, then select the item to add it

You can add multiple Content Library items either all on one page, or each on an individual page.

To add multiple Content Library items on one page, click the plus sign on the page body to access the Content Library. Select the items, then click Add.

Note: Content Library items created via upload (from either your computer or cloud storage) will be added as individual pages. If a Content Library item contains more than one page, each Content Library item will be added as an individual page.
