This is a legacy option. You should use Texts in Mandala if you want to add a longer essay to your Knowledge Map.

Homepage Texts

Homepage Texts are featured on the overview page for your place. This lets you add longer content than summaries or captions. To add a homepage text, you'll first work in Mandala Texts: 

  1. Create your content in Mandala Texts: use this guide for help. You can also use an existing Mandala Text. 
  2. Tag your text with the subject: use this guide for help. For example, if I wanted the text to appear on the Lhasa overview page, I would tag it with Lhasa
  3. Return to the Places editorial interface to add your Homepage Text

In the Homepage Texts section: 

  1. Click New Homepage Text
  2. Choose your text
    1. If you don't see the text, make sure you tagged it with the appropriate place (see above)
  3. Choose the language of the text
  4. Click Create
