Adding and Editing Content Modules
In the left hand navigation bar on your Assemble dashboard, visit Content -> Webpages
This brings you to your main pages editor dashboard. Click 'edit' next to the page that you wish to edit, and this will bring you to your individual page editor.
Assemble pages are made up of discrete blocks of content we call content modules. Each content module can contain anything you want, be it a shop, a list of upcoming screenings, an image, a gallery or simple text (and much much more).
Adding a Content Module
To add a content module, simply click the 'add new module' text on the page editor.
This will pop open a new module.
Each module has the capacity to present different types of information-- from simple text to HTML embed codes to a gallery to an email sign up form and more.
To access these options, click the drop down menu at the top of the content module, and select the type of module you wish to activate. There are many module options-- be sure to take a moment to familiarize yourself with them.
Each module represents a row or a column, and you can add as many content modules as you need.
Editing a Content Module
To edit a content module, select the 'edit' button to the right of each module. This will pop the module open, and you can make your adjustments to the module settings, or to text and images.
Note that for many of the modules, information is pulled in from elsewhere on the site. The blog module, for instance, will determine how your blog appears, but will not allow you to edit the blog posts themselves. Most of the editing capabilities are accessible on the left hand navigation bar under 'content'.
List of Available Content Modules:

SPECIAL DESIGN MODULES- These are special advanced modules which include a slider (up to 3 slides with images and text), a news bar and 3 types of parallax effects for design.
TEXT & IMAGES - The most commonly used content module: This is the module you would use in order to add text to the site (eg synopsis, bios) and images.
TRAILER - This will load the trailer app, which will display the trailer in various options (note that to add the trailer to the trailer app, visit content -> trailer). This module allows you to set whether the trailer loads directly the page or in a lightbox. Additionally it can load simply the video embed (direct from Vimeo) or the Trailer Widget.
Make sure to save each module once you are finished editing it, then save the page once you are done editing the content as whole.
