Open a component in the editor

After you create an XML component, you can open it to edit the content. When you open a component for editing, you'll lock it so other users can't change it while you're working.

Tips and tricks

  • If you don't want to edit content, then you can just view it and keep it unlocked for other users to work in. Follow the steps in View a component without locking it.
  • After you open a component in Oxygen, Inspire remembers the folder where it's stored. When you want to open another file or insert an image, the Select Component screen shows you the last folder you used.

To open a component in the editor:

  1. Click Components.
  2. Right-click the component, and then select Edit...

    You can also go to the Options menu and select Edit...
