An Iframe embeds items from other sources. Sites Pro only allows embeds from the following approved sources:

Box embeds no longer recommended

As of summer 2025, Box is no longer a recommended source of embedded content – as Box files were displaying unpredictably or not at all for some users.

Instead, we recommend linking to Box files.

Add an Iframe

(* = required field)

2. Enter Administrative Title [1] and Display Title [2].

Screenshot of the fields for Administrative Title and Display Title.

3. Enter a URL* [3] and Link text* [4] for the iFrame. Be sure to use the URL link, not the <iframe> source code (see examples below).

  • Link text [5] is required for accessibility purposes. Write the Link text in a way that someone who cannot see would be able to understand what the iFrame is depicting.

4. Enter Width [13] and Height [14]. Note: The Width and Height have default values that can be overwritten if needed, though it may take longer than the usual 10-minute delay for these dimensions to update.
