Editing a Component
You can edit a Component to modify the content of the Component.
Before you begin
To edit a Component, you must have Component Management rights and Write permissions.
It is not possible to edit a Component if the following conditions apply:
- The Component is shared from another Publication
- A different user already checked out the Component
- The Content Manager assigned the Component to a different user through a Workflow Process
Procedure
- Navigate to the Publication and Folder that contains the Component you want to edit.
- To open the Component, select the Component in the list view and click Open on the Home tab of the Ribbon.
- Edit the fields in the Component as required. (See Component field types for more information about the different field types).
- Click Save and close in the Home tab of the Ribbon.
Results
The Content Manager saves a modified version of the Component. Any of the following items that use the Component will now use the modified version of the Component:
- Pages
- Component Links in other Components
- Child Publications that share from this Publication
