Skip to main content
Elements are layout-oriented content building blocks with a multi-part structure, e.g. a banner grid with multiple banners or a link box list with multiple tiles. They appear on Pages and Shopping Worlds.
No elements can be inserted into Building Blocks, only page content from the Content, Link, Collection, System, and Shop tabs.

​
Overview

Open Content → Elements in the sidebar. The list shows all elements with:
  • Description: display name of the element
  • Type: element type
  • Modified on / Modified by
Use the All types dropdown at the top right to filter by a specific type.

​
The standard element types

These seven elements are the standard set delivered with dynamic content. Which element types are actually available to you is defined under Templates → Elements: There, element types can be adjusted, added, or removed. The elements in your installation may therefore differ.

​
Creating a new element

You do not create new elements from this list, but in the Editor of a page or shopping world. In the editor, click + New and select the Element tab in the “New content” dialog.
Details on the individual element types can be found under Content Types.

​
Reusing an element

You embed an existing element into multiple pages or shopping worlds instead of creating it anew. The element remains linked: if you edit it in one place, the change is up to date everywhere.
