Snippets are similar to variables – small chunks of content that may be used in multiple places in a project and that may change – but unlike a variable which is text-only, a snippet can contain anything that you would insert in a topic – text, tables, graphics, formatting, QR codes, and more. Learn how to create, insert, and maintain these snippets.
