Snippets allow any staff user to reuse content and cards across posts and pages.

### Deleting a snippet

To delete a snippet, you can use the dynamic card menu to view your snippet list, or type `/{snippet title}`, then hover over the snippet you want to delete with your cursor, and click on the trash can icon.
