Components and inheritance
Use building blocks and manage repeated content from one place.
1. Choose a component
Choose a prepared element in the component library. Sample content helps explain its appearance. Edit an existing component or duplicate it into your own folder to preserve the original example.
2. Create your version
To create a component, select a folder, choose Create and pick an available template. Fill in the empty content. A template is separate from a saved component; recreating from a template does not recover deleted text.
3. Choose inheritance
Inheritance connects an inserted component to its source. Optional inheritance is chosen while building the page. With inheritance off, content is local; with it on, content comes from the source component.
4. Set up shared content
Enable mandatory inheritance in the source component’s settings. It suits navigation and footers that should stay consistent. Before changing shared content, consider every page that uses it and verify those pages after publication.
