Editing a Copy of a Fragment

Editing a copy of a fragment can be useful when you want to edit a fragment without altering the original. You also must edit a copy of a fragment when the fragment library it belongs to is checked out by another user or labeled as read-only (see Making a Fragment Library Read-Only).

Note: The fragments that come with Site Studio are read-only, so to edit them, you must choose this option.

To edit a copy of a fragment, perform these tasks:

1. In the Toolbox, click a fragment category: Navigation Fragments, Dynamic List Fragments, Static List Fragments, or Other Fragments.

2. Right-click the desired fragment and choose Copy and Edit.

3. The Properties for Fragment dialog (see Properties for Fragment Dialog) opens, where you can specify individual properties for the fragment.

4. Click OK to close the fragment properties dialog.

5. The fragment opens in the Fragment Editor, where you can start making changes to the fragment (see Using the Fragment Editor).

6. When finished making changes, click the Save icon (Figure) in the toolbar (or click File then Save) and follow the steps outlined in Saving a Fragment in a Fragment Library.

The fragment displays in the Toolbox with the other fragments, and it is available to every site in the content server.
