Components Console

CAUTION

AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

The Components console allows you to browse through all components defined for your instance and view key information for each component.

It can be accessed from Tools -> General -> Components. In the console, card and list view are available. Because there is no tree structure for components, column view is not available.

NOTE

The Component Console shows all components in the system. The Component Browser shows components that are available to authors and hides any component groups that begin with a period ( .).

Search

With the Content Only icon (top left) you can open the Search panel to search and/or filter the components:
