# Rich Text

> Use Rich Text when one sentence needs multiple styles or highlighted phrases.

## What it is

**Rich Text** lets you style different parts of the same line or paragraph differently.

## What it's best for

Use it when emphasis inside the sentence matters as much as the sentence itself.

## When to use it

* Highlight a keyword in onboarding copy
* Emphasize price savings inside a comparison line
* Style a product name differently from the rest of the sentence
* Make a short inline disclaimer easier to scan

## When not to use it

* Do not use it for plain headlines or normal paragraphs. Use [Text](/components/text).
* Do not over-style every word. Too much emphasis weakens the message.

## How to add it in the dashboard

1. Open the screen in the dashboard.
2. Add **Rich Text** from the **Components panel**.
3. Select the component on the **canvas**.
4. In the **properties panel**, enter the text segments and style only the parts that need emphasis.
5. Review the sentence on the canvas to make sure the emphasis is obvious but not distracting.

## Key parameters

| Parameter         | What it changes                                   | When to adjust it                                  |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Text segments     | Splits the message into individually styled parts | Use it when one phrase needs special treatment     |
| Font size         | Controls hierarchy within the sentence            | Increase only the phrase that should stand out     |
| Weight            | Adds emphasis to important words                  | Use it for product names, savings, or key outcomes |
| Color or gradient | Draws attention to selected text                  | Use it sparingly for one clear focus area          |
| Alignment         | Aligns the full text block                        | Match it to the surrounding layout                 |
| Margin            | Adds space around the text block                  | Use it to keep the callout readable                |

## Example use cases

* “Start your **7-day free trial**” with the offer highlighted
* “Built for **product teams**” with the audience emphasized
* “Save **20% annually**” inside a paywall message

## Best practices

* Emphasize one phrase, not half the sentence.
* Keep the sentence short so the styled phrase has impact.
* Use it where emphasis changes the user’s understanding or motivation.

## Common mistakes

* Styling too many words differently
* Using rich text for long paragraphs
* Adding visual emphasis without a clear business reason
