Assembler: Listicles

The Assembler inserts an organizational layout into your article, guiding you through building out the particles that will shape your content. Think of the Assembler as an enhanced list format. For instance, if your article is about the 10 best cities in Mexico, each particle could feature a different city. However, the Assembler isn't limited to lists; it can cover the main points of your piece and include user-generated content or related stories.The Listicle is accessible via one simple click in the formatting toolbar on the Assembler option of Entry Editor.
