The Reference Component

The reference component is used to pull in a portion of a page that may need to live in multiple places in a site. For instance, a common block of links, a news story, a copyright or footer.   This allows the content to live in one spot where it can be updated and changed but displayed in multiple places.

- It is best to start with a pace that will contain the content to be "referenced"..  For the example above there is a page in /sm/web/ref.html  that contains multiple blocks of navigation that we will reference.

- On the page you want to place the content drag reference component to the page.  

- Right click to edit the component.

- In the dropdown navigate down. the document tree to the page that contains the content to be referenced.

- When you select the page various boxes of content blocks will appear.

- Select the content box you want to reference and click select.
