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."
Create a composition#
Navigate to the Content > Compositions tab menu.
Click the Add composition button.
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.
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).
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.
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.
Delete a composition#
- Navigate to the Content > Compositions tab menu.
- Find the composition you want to delete and click ••• > Delete.
Duplicate a composition#
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.
- Navigate to the Content > Compositions tab menu.
- Find the composition you want to delete and click ••• > Duplicate.
