Anytime you see a plus button, click to add content
Above is the Express plus button after pressing it. This shows the options for what you can add to an Express page. Each of these options will be detailed below.
- You can then add content by clicking on the plus button in the middle of the screen.
- This can be done at any place below the title section of your page, and you can go back to add more content in between sections later.
Express Text menu
You can apply the following styles/options to highlighted text.
- Apply a Header 1 (largest) style
- Apply a Header 2 (smaller) style
- Turn the text into a quotation
- add a bulleted list
- add a numbered list
- bold the text
- italicize the text
- turn the text into a hyperlink
- left, middle, or right align the text
Add Button (web link)
The Button option allows you to add a formatted web link as a button on screen. Button appearance can only be modified by changing the Theme of your Express.
The menu lets you:
- enter the text for the button
- enter the web link for the button
- align the button to the left, middle, or right of the screen
Adding videos
Add multiple images
The final three options for adding content are to add a:
- Photo Grid - This is a collage of images that you can decide how large each image is.
- Glideshow - This is a series of full screen images that transition as the user scrolls down the page. Text, videos, and other images can be embedded on top of the full screen glideshow images.
- Split Layout - Dividing the screen in half with an image on one side and text, images, or videos on the other.
Here is an example of a Photo Grid.

Themes
- Click the Themes icon (a small magic wand) in the top right to select a theme for your entire Express Page. The Themes bar will open on the left side of the page.
- Click one of themes to switch to it.
The theme chosen will modify the look of the entire Page, including fonts, color scheme, button layout, and transitions. These changes will affect all parts of the site at once, making it easy to affect the overall look of the page.
Share
Publish your page
When ready to share your Express Page, click the Share button at the top center of the screen.
- Choose Publish to the Web and share link. Express will publish your page to the internet and give you a link to share to others.
- You can continue to make edits to the Express Page after publishing. To update the published page, Click Share and Publish Changes.
Collaboration
Express Webpages can be created with others asynchronously.
To collaborate with someone,
- Select Invite Collaborators.
- Enter the name or email address of someone at the University, and their name should pop up for selecting.
- Invited collaborators will receive a notification inside of Adobe Express and an email (the email may take several hours to arrive).
Important notes about collaborating on Express webpages:
- Collaborators can only work asynchronously. This means that each person must complete their edits before the next person opens the page to edit.
- Only the person who created the webpage can publish or re-publish the page. This means you will want to coordinate with each group member and the person who created to make this update.
