Creating a new Component that is added to the webpage for you

If you are not authorized to add Components to webpages yourself, create a Component in Content Manager, which can then be added to your webpage for you.

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, select Create Content.
    If your Home tab does not contain a Create Content button but instead an Insert Content button, you are authorized to add Components to this webpage yourself.
    The library slides in on the left, showing a list of Content Types.
  3. Pick the Content Type that represents the type of content you want to create, and click Create.
    A new tab opens in which you can specify the fields and metadata of the new Component.
  4. Fill in the mandatory content fields and metadata fields, then click Save and Close to create this Component.
    The tab closes and the editable webpage reappears.
