Add an external component
To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through user group policies.
External components let you integrate external libraries into Sitecore Content Hub.
An External page component can handle one JavaScript (JS) bundle only. The bundle is a single file containing both code and template.
External page components, including the structure of HTML elements, might be affected by system upgrades. Changes might not persist, and unexpected behavior might occur. Exercise caution and review customizations after updates. Follow best practices when developing custom code.
