Items with borders

Experience Manager draws borders around various parts of the Web page to show which areas on the page are editable.

This diagram is a schematic representation of a part of a Web page showing editable areas through borders. Experience Manager draws borders around the following types of items:

Web page (1)
If the Web page as a whole is editable, Experience Manager draws a border around it. By default, you only see it when hovering over the edge of the page, but you can make it always visible.
Component (2)
If a Component on the Web page is editable, Experience Manager draws a border around it. By default, you only see the border when hovering over the Component, but you can make it always visible.
Field (3)
If a field of a Component is editable, Experience Manager draws a border around it, but only if you select the Component first and then hover over the field. This also goes for fields within fields (4).
