Working with SXA components
There are different types of components in XM Cloud. When you are working in the Content Editor and Experience Editor, you are working with SXA components. Some SXA components support variants. A variant makes a component appear differently or show different content.
The SXA components listed in this topic are available out-of-the box in the left-hand pane of Pages. In the tables below, if the Variant column contains yes, it means that the component supports variants.
You can configure SXA components in the Content Editor or in Pages. A developer can create additional custom SXA components in the Content Editor.
