Texts

Text contains not only a text with attachments, but also some parameters that allow easy retrieval.

A text editor is integrated so that the texts can be edited and provided. In addition to creating the text, you need to add parameters to the text that ensure that the text is found under the desired search terms, that the text is up-to-date and that it is presented to the target audience. Additional tags as keywords and categories help you find text under different search terms. In addition, you can link the text, attach files, and manage versions of the text.
