Creating a New Component
How to Create a New Component
From the Component Manager, click the Add Component above the components filter. The Edit Component page will appear. This page is very similar to the edit content page within the Site Manager, but there are a few minor differences.

Unlike the Edit Content page, the Edit Component page only has two tabs: the Basic Tab and the Advanced Tab. If you are unfamiliar with these tabs, you can review them in the Working with Content section.
Specifying Where to Use a Component
Under the content text editor, there is a section with check boxes and "Where would you like to use the component?" in bold. Check the appropriate boxes for each section you would like to use the component in.

For Example, if you wish to put a component on a content page (within a sidebar or in the main content area), select Site Manager. This will make the component available in the Site Manager as a Content Object.
