  • ID - This option allows to control the unique identifier of the component in the HTML and in the Data Layer.

    • If left blank, a unique ID is automatically generated for you and can be found by inspecting the resulting page.
    • If an ID is specified, it is the responsibility of the author to make sure that it is unique.
    • Changing the ID can have an impact on CSS, JS and Data Layer tracking.

Because sharing requires special page headers, any sharing must be enabled at the page level. Therefore, for the content author additional edit options for the sharing component are available through the sharing tab the page properties.
