Is there a way to add Structured data in RSD? - right now I am adding it in HTML Editor. Kind of a pain to re add when you change the page often

Unfortunately, its only partway implemented, and no even more sadly, no support for json-ld.
RSD will allow you to apply attributes to tags only, either microdata or rfda lite 1.1. The problem is when you want to span a property like "name" or "keyword." within a string of text. One has to break the content up with an element, or insert a html element and essentially handcode it anyway.
jsdon-ld is now the preferred markup for Google now. So you should only need to copy and past the json-ld script for each page into the head section in the settings panel for each page instead of marking up multiple tags for microdata.
The lastest beta version of RSD 2 is supposed to allow html components. But one can not use components in the <head></head> which seems to be the preferred place for page oriented json-ld. Json-ld should be able to be placed anywhere, so it isn't critical that its in the body.
If you site has a lot of pages that change, you might want to consider using Google Tag Manager. You'll need to paste identical code into the body of each page, but you can create and save json-ld script in the google Tag Manager application, and then publish them to your pages from the GTM. (GTM will auto insert tags/script).

You should convert to json-ld. No support for json-ld in that there is no generator or a format to create the script. There are not many generators on the net to begin with. Mostly, you would get example code, tweek them, and verify them through a google tester, then put them into your site The google tester is good though - and if you are missing a common data type, it will give you a warning. Google's own example code for recipes is incomplete and its own validator will generate warning for missing a cook and prepare time data. But you can copy and past the script for each page into the head section on the settings panel and it will be saved and generated whenever its exported or previewed.
CC needs to treat spans as elements. For example, one should be able to select text, and give it a span, for microdata. Right now, you can select text, and format it - RSD will create the appropriate span and css in the output, but one can't add an attribute to the span.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
