Adding a Button
In the left hand navigation bar on your Assemble dashboard, visit Content -> Web Pages
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, text or a button! See the help topic 'Adding and Editing Content Modules' for more about content modules.
