Composition

Uniform compositions

A composition represents a digital experience. If you think of a component as a model or blueprint to build something specific, a composition is that "something specific."

  1. Navigate to the Content > Compositions tab menu.

  2. Click the Add composition button.

  3. Select a composition type.

    About this step

    The components that are marked as composition components will appear in a list for you to choose from.

  4. Enter a name for the composition.

    About this step

    The name is just a label for the composition. It doesn't how the composition is used in any way (such as if the composition represents a web page, the composition name doesn't become the URL for the web page).

  5. Enter a value for the field Slug.

    About this step

    The slug is a value that can be used in your application to retrieve the composition. When a composition represents a page in a web site, it's common for the slug to match the URI for the page so the front-end application. This allows the front-end application to use the current URL to determine which composition it needs without having to hard-code the value.

  6. Click Create.

    About this step

    The composition won't be available to a front-end application until the composition is published. In addition, before any changes to the composition are available to the front-end application, the composition must be re-published.

  1. Navigate to the Content > Compositions tab menu.
  2. Find the composition you want to delete and click ••• > Delete.

When you duplicate a composition, you create a new composition with all the same settings as the original composition, with the following exceptions:

  • The composition name gets " (Copy)" added to the end.
  • The slug gets "-copy" added to the end.
  • The composition state is set to "draft."

The following steps describe how to duplicate a composition.

  1. Navigate to the Content > Compositions tab menu.
  2. Find the composition you want to delete and click ••• > Duplicate.
