The Core Component Content Fragment component allows for the display of a content fragment.

NOTE

Prior to release 2.4.0 of the Core Components, the Content Fragment component was available as an extension to the core components and had to be separately downloaded and explicitly enabled.

Usage

The Core Component Content Fragment Component allows for the inclusion of a content fragment on a page.

The fragment and its properties can be selected in the configure dialog.
Resource types to handle certain images and grids can be defined in the design dialog.
The edit option will open the selected fragment within the content fragment editor.

Version and Compatibility

The current version of the Content Fragment Component is v1, which was introduced with release 1.1.0 of the Core Components in October 2017, and is described in this document.

The following table details all supported versions of the component, the AEM versions with which the versions of the component is compatible, and links to documentation for previous versions.

Component Version	AEM 6.4	AEM 6.5	AEM as a Cloud Service
v1	Compatible with release 2.17.4 and prior	Compatible	Compatible

NOTE

Prior to release 2.4.0, the Content Fragment component was located in the extensions folder.

apps/core/wcm/extension/components/contentfragment/v1/contentfragment

From 2.4.0 it has been moved to the following location.

apps/core/wcm/components/contentfragment/v1/contentfragment

Although both are v1, any Content Fragment component that was used from the extensions folder will require a migration of its related proxy components to use the new resource type when upgrading to release 2.4.0 or higher of the Core Components.

For more information about Core Component versions and releases, see the document Core Components Versions.
