Attaching and editing Content from the application

Attaching Content to the Formatted Content component

After adding a component from the base components panel Formatted content it needs to be populated with a content artifact. With the component selected, choose in the component properties panel in the field CONTENT option Edit content. This will open the panel and display information about no artifact being selected. To choose an artifact, use the selection field Select artifact located in the panel header. Selecting an artifact automatically selects the latest version. The version can be changed using the selection field Version.

Edit mode

Editing formatted content can take place in the content editor (Content Editor) or directly where it was added (in the application or in a composite component). In the second case, this is done using the tab Content in the component properties panel Formatted content. In edit mode, the edit button is replaced by the buttons Discard draft and Save. The artifact name and version selection fields are locked.

Changes should be made in the code editor available directly under the header. The changes made are stored in a working copy (draft). These changes can be discarded at any time using the button Discard draft. To save the changes, click the button Save, and then enter a version description in the dialog box that appears. Confirming the dialog will create a minor version of the artifact.

If the editing panel for formatted content whose working copy (draft) we already have is opened, an appropriate message will appear in the header. In such a situation, you can choose whether to continue editing the existing draft or delete the previous draft and create a new one.
