# Snippets
Snippets are handy for adding small pieces of editable content to your page -
for instance, in a static footer.
## Enabling Snippets
To enable Snippets, add the following to `config/initializers/slices.rb`
```ruby
Slices::Config.use_snippets!
```
## Creating a new snippet
Enter into the Rails console and create a new snippet:
```ruby
$ Snippet.create(key: 'my_snippet')
```
This will now be editable under the 'Snippets' tab of the Slices admin panel.
## Using a snippet in a layout
```erb
<%= snippet('my_snippet') %>
```
