Paragraphs allow editors to create pre-defined blocks of content to be added to pages around your LocalGov Drupal site.

Many paragraph types are available out of the box (including an accordion, contact details, document, image and video).

It's also easy to create a library of 'reusable paragraphs' - this allows you to change content once centrally, and all instances of the paragraph dotted around your site update automatically. This is ideal for contact details such as phone numbers and addresses of council venues.

Dev work in progress

Paragraphs are being overhauled as part of our 2025 to 2026 'Refresh' mission. This includes:

• removing references to 'Page Components' which has been used as an alternative name for this feature
• improving the UX for adding and editing paragraphs
• allowing paragraphs to be added to more places around your site
• tidying up the list of paragraphs and making it clear what each is used for. Over time some lesser used paragraphs may be deprecated

Paragraph types

This includes:

• Accordions
• Banner primary and banner secondary
• Block view
• Box link

Here's the complete list. Thanks to Big Blue Door for sharing this.
