Using Experience Builder

Experience Builder provides a visual interface to help you create and customize pages for your site. Before you start creating pages in Experience Builder, you must understand hierarchy of a page because Experience Builder pages follow a hierarchical structure.

The following table lists the hierarchy of a page:

S.No	Term	Description
1	Global Regions	Regions that are displayed across all pages of the site. For example, header and footer.
2	Page	A single page that can include multiple components and structured fields. For example, title, meta description, and meta image.
3	Components	Individual content elements placed within pages and global regions.
4	Slots	Designated areas within components that can contain other components.

Creating an Experience Builder page¶

Use the following steps to create an Experience Builder page:

Access your site.
On the top right, click Edit.
The system displays the Experience Builder user interface.
On the top center, click the page title to open the navigator.
Click New > New Page.
The system creates a new draft page that can be published after it is ready.

Navigating between pages¶

In the Experience Builder user interface, you can navigate between different pages of your site to view their published versions, make changes to them, and review the changes before publishing.

Use the following steps to navigate to an existing page on your site:

In the Experience Builder user interface, click the page title to open the navigator.
In the dropdown menu, locate the page that you want to navigate to and click its title.

Reviewing, previewing, and publishing a page¶

For detailed instructions on how to review the changes made on a page, check its preview, and publish it, visit Publishing the landing page.

Important considerations for selective publishing¶

Enable revisions for your content type if not already enabled.
When editing in a different workflow state than Published, your changes do not affect the live version until explicitly published.
Save changes as a draft to review before publishing to the production environment.
Use workflow states to control when and how content updates are published to your site.

Revision and its relationship to workflow¶

A revision is a saved version of your page.
Each time you publish, a new revision is created.
Previous revisions can be viewed and restored if needed.

Content approvals and reviews¶

Experience Builder currently does not have a formal approval or review process. However, you can configure user permissions to allow a user to edit and create content without permitting them to publish it.
