Adding an existing Component to a Web page

Add an existing Component to a Web page if you know of a Component in the that you would like to add to the current Web page.

Procedure

  1. Open a browser, access a Web page that is editable and start editing by clicking the SDL Tridion button at the top left corner of the page.
  2. In the Home tab of the ribbon toolbar, click the bottom part of the Insert Content button and from the suboptions, select Insert Content.
    If your Home tab does not contain an Insert Content button but instead a Create Content button, you are not authorized to add Components to this Web page.
    The library slides in on the left, showing a list of Folders and Components.
  3. Navigate the Folder structure until you see the Component you want to insert, and select it. If you know (part of) the name of the item you want to insert, you can also click the Search button at top left and enter it, using the * and ? wildcard characters where necessary, into the search box that appears. Now do one of the following:
    • Drag the Component from the library onto a valid drop location on the Web page to insert the Component in that location.
    • Click Insert to insert the new Component in a default location on the Web page (the top or bottom). If your Web page consists of regions, do not use this option.
    The Component is inserted at the appropriate location.

Results

You have added a Component from the Content Library to the current Web page.
