Widgets in Configured Commerce
Describes how to use widgets to add content to pages without having to develop page elements in Optimizely Configured Commerce.
Widgets are pre-configured content holders in Optimizely Configured Commerce that allow ISC_Content user roles to add content to pages without having to develop page elements. Widgets can host contextual content, providing users with different views based on persona, language, and/or device type.
The following table describes all currently available out-of-the-box widgets.
