Content for different countries

You can add content that can only be seen by users in specific countries - England, Wales or Scotland. This is called location-specific content. For users who can see it, it looks the same as other content around it.

Location-specific content is a type of entry. An entry is a piece of content that can be reused in different places.

If you want to add another type of entry that can only be seen by users in specific countries, check how to:

• add callouts (alerts and examples)

• add targeted content (revealables)

• add content for advisers

If you want all the content in your advice collection to only be seen by users in specific countries, change the audience field within the advice collection. You can also check how to create an advice collection.

Adding location-specific content

To add location-specific content, first make sure your cursor is in the right place in the advice collection or entry you want to add it to. Click ‘Embed’ in the toolbar, then click ‘Entry’ on the drop down menu.

This will open the ‘Add existing entry’ box. You can now either:

• create new location-specific content

• find and add location-specific content that already exists in Contentful

Creating new location-specific content

Click ‘Create new entry’ in the top right of the 'Add existing entry' box. Scroll down the drop down menu and click 'Location-specific content'.

Finding and adding existing location-specific content

To find existing location-specific content, click the blue box next to where it says 'Content type' and select 'Location-specific content'. Now search for the name of the location-specific content by typing in the search bar.

The location-specific content should appear in the list beneath the search bar. Click on it to add it.

The location-specific content will appear as a box in the advice collection or entry you're working on.

Editing existing location-specific content

You can move location-specific content to a different position by either:

• cutting and pasting it

• clicking and dragging it

If you need to edit location-specific content, click on the 3 dots in the top right, then click 'Edit' in the drop down menu. Remember that editing the location-specific content will change it everywhere it appears on the site.

The content of location-specific content

You'll need to fill in the fields of the location-specific content so you can publish it.

Location-specific content name

This won't appear on the site, but people will be able to search for the location-specific content by name in Contentful. Add the country in brackets at the end of the name, for example '(England)' or '(E)'.

Audience

Choose which country can see the location-specific content by ticking the boxes.

Body

This is where you add and edit the contents of the location-specific content. You can do the same things in the body as you can in an advice collection.

Version information

This is where you explain what changes you're publishing. If you're changing existing content, delete anything that's already in the field first.

Try to write the version information so it will make sense to someone who looks at it later without knowing the context. For example:

• say if it's new location-specific content, or briefly explain what changes you've made

• if the work is part of a project, include the project name

• if the change is a maintenance update, include a link to the maintenance Trello ticket

Publishing location-specific content

To publish location-specific content, click the 'Publish' button on the right of the screen.

If it's new location-specific content, you'll also need to publish the changes to the advice collection or entry it will appear on.

At the moment, you must tell the Content Platform team every time you make a change to the content in Contentful. This lets them make the same change in EPiServer. Tell the Content Platform team about changes using the request form.
