Overview
The most fundamental concept of Along is the creation of spaces and their content. Most concepts in Along evolve around spaces and their content like the analytics for example.
Once a space is created from scratch, content needs to be added manually. The content creation in spaces almost entirely happens in sections.
Manage tabs
Content is broken down into different tabs, so that you can access different information organised across these tabs.
Summary tab: The first tab is a summary broken down into sections filled with content
Action plan tab: The second tab is an action plan
Resources tab: The third tab is a collection of all consolidated resources shared in the summary and the action plan tab
Manage sections
Sections are basically the frame in which content is being added.
Outline to navigate through sections
You can give sections a title that shows up in the outline of the tab, so that you can more easily navigate through the section content.
Add sections
Sections are added from the “+ Add section” button which opens a dropdown from where you can select different section types. These section types are partly pre-built sections that you can only add one time in each space such as the progress bar section.
Edit sections
There are a few different edit options for sections that allow you to control and even share the sections easily.
Internal sections: You can make sections internal, so that you cannot see them in the buyer view. It is a great way for you to control the visibility of your content throughout different phases during the lifecycle of an Alongspace.
Read about internal content.Sharing sections: You can share a section from your Alongspace with your buyers, so that you can point out specific content.
Drag & drop sections to easily re-order them within your Alongspace.
Duplicating a section is a copy of the exact section added below.
Deleting a section removes the section entirely from your Alongspace, which deletes the section irreversibly in this space. You will have manually re-create it.
Manage content
Content is added in blocks within sections. Each block has a different property and allows you to freely create any content type you want. The content you can create varies from text, images, any documents, beautiful previews from your favourite tools, links, videos or even a button.
Add content
You can simply add various types of content in a section by hovering over the section and picking a content type from the bottom left corner. Below is a list of different content types you can add in a section:
