Building Content Fragment Models

Agencies can have custom content fragment models built for content that needs to be repurposed throughout a website.  The following is a walkthrough creating a content fragment model to manage a collection of "Puppy Profiles."

While agencies cannot create or modifiy content fragment models at this time, the steps of creating a new model can help users know the information required by platform administrators to make the process as smooth as possible.

To gain access to content models, browse to the root of AEM

1. Press the tools icon
2. Then select "Assets."

From here, select the folder for your Agency.  If you do not see your agency's folder, please contact DoIT.

Now you are ready to Create a new content model.
