Lesson details

Add a code block to the rich text content and choose the language or presentation supported by the lesson. Keep code separate from surrounding paragraphs, preserve indentation, and use inline code only for short names or commands within a sentence.

Preview long lines and mobile widths, and provide horizontal scrolling when wrapping would change the code. Check contrast, copy behavior, and pasted characters before publishing technical content.

Keep the collection schema understandable to the people who will maintain it. Clear field names and predictable bindings reduce one-off canvas fixes when new records are added.

What does this lesson cover?

The lesson covers the settings and steps used to add code blocks in Framer. See CMS: Code Blocks and Inline Code. Follow the demonstrated order in your project and review each change on the canvas before moving to the next step.

Does this workflow keep CMS content editable?

Yes. The workflow uses Framer CMS fields, items, references, or collection lists rather than flattening the content into a static page. Review the field mapping and each affected item after the change so editors can keep managing the content from the CMS.

Will CMS changes update collection pages?

CMS-backed collection lists and detail pages use the values stored in their connected fields. A field or item change can therefore appear wherever that content is bound. Review the list page, detail page, references, filters, and empty states after completing the workflow.

What should I review after I add code blocks in Framer?

Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
