Viewing Component properties

View Component Properties to find out more about this Component. Viewing information about a Component can give you the background you need to decide if you want to edit it. Alternatively, if an item is in workflow, you can find out who is working on it (if anybody) and contact them if necessary.

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. Do one of the following:
    • Click on the border drawn around a Component, and click the Show Properties border button.
    • Click inside the border of a Component, and in the Home tab of the ribbon toolbar, click Properties.

    A popup called <ComponentName> properties appears, where <ComponentName> is the name of the Component, displaying information about the Component, such as who created it, when it was last modified, and so on.

    If you see a property called Workflow, click on the value of the property to open another popup showing details about the current Activity.

    You can also add the Component to one or more Bundles from this popup.
