On the Tools tab, you can access all the features in XM Cloud e.g. Pages, Explorer. Click on Pages to open it
-
On the Editor tab, in the left-hand side pane, open the Components tab
-
You will see a list of all components (default + custom built) that can be added on a page

Select any component e.g. Banner. Drag and drop it to the desired location on the page canvas e.g. main placeholder
-
Assign content to component when needed. The content can already exist as content items in your site, as item in Media Library, or you can create new content. New content can be created under global folder if it needs to be shared among multiple pages on the site or locally under local ‘Data’ folder
-
Click on the newly created content (local or global) to enable Assign button. Click Assign button and component gets added on the page
