Moving Component Presentations into Regions in Content Manager Explorer
If your organization has upgraded Content Manager from a version that did not use Regions and now has decided to use Regions, you may need to modify existing Pages to move its Component Presentations from the Page level into the correct Regions. Consult your implementer for guidance on Region design.
About this task
Before moving Components into Regions, first talk to your implementer for guidance on which Components should go in which Regions. Each Region may impose its own restrictions on which, and how many, Components it can contain.
In most cases, when migrating from a Page design that is not Region-based to one that is Region-based, the publishing model that is in use will be the older template-based framework. In this case, you will move an entire Component Presentation when you move a Component. There is no extra step involved, and the Component Template that is associated with the Component automatically goes along with the Component when you move it.
In a templateless, data-only publishing model, no Component Template is required and there is no concept of a Component Presentation. Since no Component Template is used, you move only Components with no selected Component Templates. Again, check with your implementer if you have questions.
