Creating a new Component and adding it to a webpage yourself

You can create a new Component based on a Content Type and, if you are authorized to do so, add it to the webpage yourself.

Procedure

  1. On an editable webpage, start editing by clicking the pencil button in the top right corner.
  2. In the Home tab of the ribbon toolbar, 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 webpage yourself. Instead, you create a Component that is then added to this webpage for you.
    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. Now do one of the following:
    • Drag the Content Type from the library onto a valid drop location on the webpage to insert the new Component in that location.
    • Click Choose to insert the new Component in a default location on the webpage (the top or bottom). If your webpage consists of regions, do not use this option.
    A popup appears, prompting you for a title for this new Component.
  4. Type a title and click Create and Insert Content.
    The webpage gets updated and the new Component appears in the selected position.
  5. Fill in the fields of the Component on the webpage.

Results

You have created a new Component and added it to the current webpage.
