A component is a configurable element designed to fill your item with meaningful content. You can find all available components on the Components tab of the elements panel.

The set of available components depends on the item type you're editing and the template selected.

To add a component, drag the required one from the Components tab and place it on the item layout. Then customize the component styling and properties or assign actions and animations.

When customizing text components, you can view the eWizard Font policy in the TEXT section of the Properties tab.

You can fill components with assets from My library, Veeva Vault, or your device and then replace the selected assets if required.

In the EDIT mode, you can view the coded, container, image, title, and text components without assets. In the PREVIEW mode, they aren't displayed on the layout.

To activate the context menu with editing options, right-click the component on the layout and select the required option.

Depending on the components available for your item, you can apply the following options:

e-Detailers and their briefs

You can copy customized components and paste them to other e-Detailer slides with keyboard shortcuts. For this:

1. Select the component you want to copy on the layout and press Ctrl+C.

2. Open the slide where you want to paste the copied component and press Ctrl+V.

The inserted component keeps all the styles, properties, actions, and animation effects applied to the original component.

You can manage multiple components on the content item layout at a time.

Smart guides

Available for e-Detailers and their briefs

Smart guides allow you to align components on the layout with each other and the slide center.

To activate the smart guides:

1. Select the required component on the layout.

2. Start moving the component.

Smart guides appear on the layout as magenta lines that show possible variants of alignment for your component.

3. Align the component with them.

The X-/Y-axis values indicate the correlation between the position of the selected component's upper-left corner and the same corner of the layout.
