Make a custom component available in the page builder
To let content authors add components to pages in the page builder, you need to add your custom component to a component category. In this example, you create a new component category named Custom Components and then add a component named Custom component 1.
Because the standard component categories used in the page builder toolbox are overwritten with SXA updates, we recommend that you create a separate component category for your custom components.
To make the component available in your preferred editor:
-
Navigate to sitecore/Content/[site]/Presentation.
-
Right-click Available Renderings > Available Renderings. Enter a name, for example, Custom Components.
-
In the Data section, click Edit.
-
In the dialog, navigate to Layout/Renderings/Feature and double-click your component. Click OK.
-
Click Available Renderings and, in the Data section, select the Group renderings in sections according to Available Renderings items in the site check box.
-
Save your changes.
-
To check that the component is available in your preferred editor, open a page in, for example, Pages, and click the Components tab.
