Episode Notes

What this episode covers.

Once a page is created using a template, the next question is:
What actually fills that page?

That’s where Components come in.

In this video, I explain Components in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) in simple terms:

• How components act as reusable building blocks

Components are not just technical units.

Understanding components makes authoring, development, and collaboration much easier to reason about.
