Components are reusable groups of fields. Once defined, a component can be embedded into any Content Type using the component or multiComponent field type.
Use components to avoid duplicating field definitions across multiple content types (e.g., a SEO block, an Address block, a Pricing block).
Creating a Component
Open Content Types
Navigate to Content Types in the sidebar.
Switch to the Components tab
At the top of the Content Types page, click the Components tab.
Click New Component
Click + New Component and give it a name and icon.
Add fields to the component
Define fields for the component the same way you add fields to a content type. See Fields.
Save
Click Save. The component is now available for use in any content type.
Using a Component in a Content Type
Open a Content Type
Go to Content Types, open a content type, and switch to the Structure tab.
Add a component field
Click + Add Field and select either:
component— embeds a single instance of the componentmultiComponent— allows multiple instances (a list of components)
Select the component
In the field editor, choose the component you want to embed from the dropdown.
Viewing a Component in the Editor
When editing a document with a component field, a Component Viewer sheet displays the embedded component data inline.
Editing a Component Definition
Changes to a component definition are immediately reflected everywhere the component is used. Be careful when removing or renaming fields in a component.
