Components

Components are a form-based type of reusable content that gather information and add it into complex design elements. A component on a page prompts you to enter information and adds source code to format and display the information on the page.

Use components to easily update content in design elements that have moving parts, such as slide shows and info cards.

You can search the content of a component on a page using Find and Replace. Find and Replace does not search the component source code.
