Basic information

You Might Also Like (YMAL) is a segment that might be displayed on content pages. Regardless of which device is used to access your site, a YMAL is displayed below the main content on the page.

You can build a new YMAL or edit an existing YMAL from Pangea CMS.

Go to Build > You Might Also Like in the primary navigation.

Hit + Add new to build a new YMAL, or select the name of an existing YMAL to start editing it.
