CMS 10.6 Previewing Content Trays via In-Context Editing

Prerequisites: Administrators must configure each component item before users can preview the items in ICE mode. See CMS 10.6 Configuring ICE Component Element Views for details.

Preview a thumbnail graphic of content trays (i.e., component content units or component items) via In-Context Editing (ICE) mode.

Each content tray available via ICE mode associates with a view. For component units, the built-in views associated with the units reside in the Assets Manager filepath Assets\Views\Shared\Editable. Administrators can edit these views in Administration > Presentation Content Units.

Troubleshooting

Users can preview only the thumbnails of component content via ICE mode.

Thumbnails generate automatically for components when users save a site page that references or embeds the respective component. If a thumbnail is unavailable, then this indicates that the component has not been saved within a page.

To preview content trays via ICE:
  1. Access ICE mode. See Accessing ICE Mode for details.
  2. Choose one of the following steps.
    • Preview content trays via the Trays pane.
      1. Select Open Trays Palette Open Trays Palette Button on the rightmost side of the Edit tab toolbar.

        The Trays pane expands.

        Tip
