A component is a reusable building block you define once and reuse across pages. Components live in their own section of your workspace, separate from spaces and folders.

How components work

A component bundles a layout and a set of blocks — fields, media, containers, and references — into a single reusable unit. A common example is a lower-third graphic with name and title fields, defined once and dropped into every rundown that needs it. When you add a component to a page, Fabl inserts an independent copy of it. Filling in the copy on one page does not change the component or any other copy. If the component changes later, existing copies are left as they are; you can refresh a copy from its source when you want to pull in the latest version.

Create a component

  1. Open the Components section and click New component.
  2. Define its layout and add the blocks it should contain.
  3. Optionally assign the component to specific spaces so it appears only where it’s relevant.

Use a component on a page

  1. Open a page and use the + control.
  2. Find your component and select it.
  3. A copy is added to the page — fill in its fields for this production.
Creating and editing components requires the components management permission. See Roles and permissions.

Components vs. templates

A component is added inside a page as one block among others. A template creates a whole new page. Use components for repeated pieces within pages, and templates for repeated page structures.
