Component Content Units


Like field content units, component content units are an integral part of Page Builder presentations. Each component content unit contains an embedded component schema. A component schema contains multiple fields that a CMS administrator built to achieve a particular purpose (e.g., navigation, block of content).

The utility of component schemas, as well as page and asset schemas, is that the same schema can be reused in multiple contexts. Similarly, component content units can be used in multiple presentation contexts when designing pages in Page Builder.

The process requires:

1. Component in Schema Designer

Component schemas are built in Schema Designer. See Creating Component Schemas for details.

2. Component Content Unit in Presentation Content Units

In Presentation Content Units, administrators embed the appropriate component schema in a content unit. See Creating Component Content Units for details.
