Trying out Content Fragments in We.Retail

Content Fragments let you create channel-neutral content, together with (possibly channel-specific) variations. We.Retail (as available in an out-of-the-box instance of Adobe Experience Manager) provides the fragment Arctic Surfing in Lofoten as a basic sample. This illustrates that:

• Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) content fragments are created and managed as page-independent assets. They let you create channel-neutral content, together with (possibly channel-specific) variations.

  • See Where to Find Content Fragment assets in We.Retail

• You can then use these fragments, and their variations, when authoring your content pages.
