Extended Content
Create named content sections that can be assigned to individual products and categories beyond the default main content area.
Extended Content lets you define custom content sections (called tags) that expand what you can display on product and category pages. Instead of being limited to a single content area, you can create additional named sections such as "Specifications," "Installation Instructions," or "Size Guide" and then populate them per product or per category through the Product CMS and Category CMS editors.
Each tag is scoped to either products or categories. Once created, the tag appears as an option in the CMS editor for that scope. Storefront templates can then check for and render extended content sections by tag name, giving you flexible, structured content without modifying page templates for each new section.
View Extended Content Tags
- From your Unified Admin, go to Content > Extended Content.
- The list displays all extended content tags for the current storefront in an AG Grid table.
- Use the search bar at the top right to filter tags by any field.
- Use the scope dropdown to filter by All, Category CMS, or Product CMS.
- Click Add Extended Content to create a new tag.
List Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Id | Unique identifier for the extended content tag. |
| Name | The tag name used to identify this content section. This is the key used in storefront templates to retrieve the content. |
| Scope | Whether this tag applies to Category CMS or Product CMS pages. |
| Description | Optional description explaining the purpose of this content section. |
| Action | Edit or Delete the tag. |
Add/Edit a Tag
- Click Add Extended Content to create a new tag, or click Edit from the Action column on an existing tag.
- A dialog opens with the tag fields.
- Fill in the fields and click Save.
Tag Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Required. The unique name for this content section (e.g., "Specifications", "Gallery"). Must be unique within the same scope for the storefront. This name is used as the key when retrieving content in storefront templates. |
| Scope | Determines whether this tag applies to products or categories. Choose Category CMS to make the tag available when editing category content, or Product CMS for product content. The scope cannot be changed after the tag is created. |
| Description | Optional. A note explaining what this content section is for. Visible only in the admin. |
Delete a Tag
- Click Delete from the Action column on the tag you want to remove.
- Confirm the deletion in the confirmation dialog.
Deleting a tag performs a soft delete. The tag and any content associated with it will no longer appear in the CMS editors or on the storefront.
How Extended Content Works
Extended content follows a two-step workflow:
- Define tags in this Extended Content page. Each tag creates a named content slot scoped to either products or categories.
- Populate content per product or category in the respective CMS editor. When editing product or category content, a dropdown appears listing all available extended content tags for that scope, plus the default "Main Content" option. Select a tag, enter the HTML content, and save.
On the storefront, templates can check whether a product or category has content for a specific tag and render it accordingly. This enables structured, multi-section content layouts without requiring template changes for each new content area.
Associations
Print Store
| Area | Effect |
|---|---|
| Product detail pages | Product-scoped tags create additional content sections on product pages. Storefront templates access them by tag name to render supplementary content such as specifications, instructions, or galleries. |
| Category pages | Category-scoped tags create additional content sections on category pages, following the same pattern as product pages. |
| Store Clone | When cloning a store, all extended content tags and their associated content are copied to the new store with updated ID mappings. |
