Content Placeholder

As a enterprise user, you can use a content placeholder component to dynamically display content items of one or more types.

For example, you can use a content item placeholder on a designated detail page and when a user clicks a link to get more detailed information for a particular content item, it will automatically load the detail view for the associated content item. For example, if there is a page with multiple articles, each with a headline and image, and the user clicks a particular article, the detail page displays the full article regardless of which article is chosen.

1. Navigate to the page you want to edit and make sure that is set to Edit.

3. To edit the component and its appearance, click its menu icon , and choose Settings.
