The Rich Text Editor (RTE)
This page of the user guide will help Sitecore Contributors add and become familiar with the RTE Component. The RTE is a component that is used to change and edit most of the text within Sitecore. The RTE is one of the most commonly used components in Sitecore. It should be noted that the RTE cannot be created as the first component only Hero Banner, Slideshow, and Video components can be used as the first component. It should be noted that although some components are already on the page, all directions are starting as if the component needed is not available on the page and needs to be added.
