Card Types

Cards Overview

Content Designers are strongly encouraged to include visuals on the card front whenever possible.

Card Fronts: Each card should have a title describing the content on the back of the card. It is strongly suggested that you not exceed 140 characters (including spaces) for the card title.

Card Backs: Allow the designer to add text describing the item identified on the Card front. While the text copy on the back of the card is scrollable, it is not recommended to exceed 4,000 characters including spaces. For best practice, we recommended keeping copy under 2,000 characters including spaces.



Different Card Type Templates

Displayed are available Card types with their descriptions. It is important to know that card types have some built-in formatting features and a WYSIWYG that helps in the creation of content.
