Experience Fragment

An Experience Fragment is a group of one or more components including content and layout that can be referenced within pages. It allows authors to reuse content across multiple sites and site-pages. It can contain any component.

Usage

The Core Component Experience Fragment Component allows the content author to select from existing experience fragment variations and place one on the content page. The Experience Fragment component also supports a localized site structure.

Note

It is possible that marketers may not have access to create Experience fragments in which case access should be requested via Service Now.

If and when Experience Fragments are created or used on a new site being developed on Stage, FEDs should place a request for marketers’ access along with site’s content and DAM paths.

Example

Experience Fragments are demoed on the Fast Track website here.

Experience Fragment Sample 2

This is another example of experience fragment, in this, we have used the masonry gallery component.
A use case for this would be pages in your website where you want to highlight the same gallery of images and update the EF to apply changes on all of the pages.

Best Practices

  1. Be careful when editing the experience fragment source as it will affect all the pages that references it.
  2. Experience Fragments should be created within the site’s market folder.
