Configure the Text box block
Note
We recommend you do not include images that you have uploaded to Mahara in a text box. It cannot be guaranteed that they are displayed for other users if they do not have access to the image via another portfolio page. All access in Mahara is granted to pages and through them to the artefact blocks. An image in a text box is not recognized as artefact and can therefore not receive its proper permissions.
You can re-use text from other text boxes (a.k.a. Notes) from one page in another.
Warning
If you do not make a copy of a text box content and change it, the text is changed in all other instances where this text box is used.
