# adapt-contrib-blank
**Blank** is a *presentation component* bundled with the [Adapt framework](https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework).

Its purpose is to maintain a blank area among other visible components. [Visit the **Blank** wiki](https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt-contrib-blank/wiki) for more information about its functionality and for explanations of key properties.
## Installation
As one of Adapt's *[core components](https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/wiki/Core-Plug-ins-in-the-Adapt-Learning-Framework#components),* **Blank** is included with the [installation of the Adapt framework](https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework/wiki/Manual-installation-of-the-Adapt-framework#installation) and the [installation of the Adapt authoring tool](https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/wiki/Installing-Adapt-Origin).
* If **Blank** has been uninstalled from the Adapt framework, it may be reinstalled.
With the [Adapt CLI](https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt-cli) installed, run the following from the command line:
`adapt install adapt-contrib-blank`
Alternatively, this component can also be installed by adding the following line of code to the *adapt.json* file:
`"adapt-contrib-blank": "*"`
Then running the command:
`adapt install`
(This second method will reinstall all plug-ins listed in *adapt.json*.)
* If **Blank** has been uninstalled from the Adapt authoring tool, it may be reinstalled using the [Plug-in Manager](https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_authoring/wiki/Plugin-Manager).
