Content Item Component

As a enterprise user, you can use a content item component to help lay out a page and set up page interactions until you are ready to add the content items themselves.

When you drag and drop a content item from the Content panel onto a page, it automatically inserts a content item component to hold the item. If you add the component first, you can drag the content item from the Content panel onto the component at a later time.

To add a content item component to a page:

1. Navigate to the page you want to edit and make sure that is set to Edit.
2. Add the component to the page.
3. To edit the component and its appearance, click its menu icon , and choose Settings.
4. Use the General tab to modify spacing, alignment, and other presentation options.

   If a content item is assigned to the component, a thumbnail view of the content items is shown. If no content item is assigned yet, a placeholder image and message is displayed.

5. Choose from the following to set additional defaults for the content that’s displayed.

   • Version to use: If you select Use latest version of asset and there is a newer, unpublished version of the content item, the newer version will be published automatically when the current site update is published. Unless specifically requested, all items will be the draft or latest versions.
