Adding a Component

Add a component to your pages.

  1. Navigate to and open the desired page. Available sections are surrounded by dashes and are labeled Drag components or assets here....
  2. Use the Sidekick to select the desired component to add the component to the chosen section.

*Alternately, you can right-click on the section and select Insert OR double-click on the section and an "Insert New Component" window will open with a list of the available components for that section. When you select your component, its dialog window will open allowing you to add in your content.

3. Drag the selected component into the section.  If the component has permission to be added to that section, you'll see a green checkmark.

4. The component placeholder now contains an icon for the desired component.  Double-click on the icon and an edit window will open allowing you to use the component.
