Adding protections in landing page templates for the Design Editor

Protected templates allow you to prevent marketers from deleting or changing elements of a landing page created from that template. After adding protections, elements with protections appear with a protected indicator.

When a marketer creates a landing page using the template, Oracle Eloqua identifies the content they can edit.

To protect elements of a landing page template:

1. Navigate to Assets, then click Landing Pages.
2. Click Manage Templates and open the template you want to protect.
3. Choose an option:

   Option	Steps
   If you are using the Design Editor	Click to open the Template Settings panel. Click Protected Content and choose what users can change: To allow users to change the layout settings (background image or border settings) or the default landing page style, click Allow Changes to Style. To allow changes to the overall landing page design, such as adding or moving content and layouts, click Allow Changes to Design. Click the content components in the landing page that you want to allow users to change and click Allow Changes to Content. By default, the setting is off and users cannot change the content component. When you're editing a protected template, a locked icon shows what elements will be locked for users creating landing pages from that template. Additionally, you cannot protect a layout, but you can prevent users from changing the settings for all layouts using the Protected Content settings above.
   If you are using the Source Editor	Right-click a landing page element that you want to allow users to change and select Mark as Editable. Choose the options you want to enable from the Settings dialog: To allow users to change the element, click the Mark as Editable check box and give the element a descriptive name. The name can help users identify the intent of the element. To allow users to remove the element from the landing page, click the Allow Delete check box. Click Save to close the dialog.

   Tip: If you are using the Source Editor, you can manually add the elq-edit="true" and elq-delete="true" attributes to elements of the landing page. See the reference below for more information.

4. Click Save.

After you apply protections to the template, the status of the template changes to Protected.

Protected HTML landing page reference

If you are using HTML code, refer to the following table for the attributes you can use to protect elements of your landing page.

Supported elements: Some block level elements and HTML5 elements (<article>, <aside>, <blockquote>, <caption>, <div>, <details>, <fig>, <figure>, <footer>, <header>, <nav>, <section>, <summary>) Headers (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, and so on) Images (<img>) Tip: These are the supported elements. You can try to use the attribute on other elements, but Oracle Eloqua cannot verify the functionality.
elq-delete="true"	Defines an element as deletable. You can apply this to the same elements listed above.
