Add components to a page

Components are the content building blocks in Experiences. They are created by your frontend developer using descriptor files per your custom requirements. All available components to be configured and added to your pages appear in the Add components list. More than one instance of a component can appear on any page.

To add content to a page, select the Pages link, then click on the page name. Mouse over the version you want to edit and click vertical ellipsis (⋮) to bring up the menu and select Edit.

Click Add components in the left column to see the list of available components for your deployment.

The component list in the left column labeled Section can be rearranged via drag and drop. The subcomponents cannot.

NOTE: Since all components are custom built, they will vary from this example.

🖼️

In our example, we will select Single Product Page Template. Toggle the Heading arrow and a list of fields required to populate the page will appear in the left column. The other links and graphics already on the page are Global Elements that will appear on all pages.

🖼️

Once the fields have been completed, the page shows the content as a preview. The phone/tablet/laptop icons at the top of page enable previewing the page in different devices.

Click Save to preserve your work for future editing, or click Publish to make the page live for external viewing. To discard all changes, close or navigate away from the page or component.

​

Versioning pages

Page versioning in Experiences is accomplished by making a copy of an existing page to use for revisions. Versioning enables you to revert back to any previous page that is still in the list, or schedule future updates to align with promos, seasonal changes, and other related events.

To make a new version of a page, select the page, mouse over the version you want to duplicate, click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) to bring up the menu and select Make a copy. Update the version name modal box, click the Save button, and the new page will appear.

The version naming is your choice. Consistency is best.

• The next serial ascending number such as 1.0, 2.0
• The creation date of the new version such as 1 October 2021
• Title if it relates to something relevant such as Fall specials

When your edits are completed, you can click Save as draft to preserve your work for future editing, or click Publish to make the page live now for external viewing or schedule it for future publication. If you choose to Publish this new version it will go Live immediately and change the status of the previously published page to Ended.

​

Scheduling pages

Versions of pages can be scheduled for publication in the future. This enables advance planning of content updates for events such as Cyber Monday, promotion launches, or seasonal changes.

Page versions in Draft can be scheduled by clicking the drop-down arrow on Publish and selecting Schedule. Choose a date and time when this page version should be published in the modal box and click Save.

NOTE_:_ The date-time displayed is based on your specific timezone, using your computer’s time setting.

Depreciating pages

If you want to remove a page from publication but leave it in the list for future publication, you can deactivate it by clicking the vertical ellipsis (⋮) to bring up the menu to select Deactivate.

All previously published pages stay listed until you archive or delete them. Archive pages which you don’t plan to use often or want to have as templates for future projects. If they are not ever going to be published again, you can delete them. Deleting a page is permanent.

To archive or delete a page or a specific version, mouse over it, click vertical ellipsis (⋮) to bring up the menu and select Archive or Delete. To unarchive a page, click the Archived selection on the top of the page, mouse over the desired page, click vertical ellipsis (⋮) to bring up the menu, and select Unarchive.
