Customizing the Portal Look-and-Feel
The Builder creates a Salesforce Experience Cloud site with your desired brand identity, look and feel, and site structure by providing control over the site’s components, themes, and pages, and its settings for general properties, themes, and SEO.
The Builder link opens your site for editing. You can edit each page in your portal, create new pages, and add and edit the components on each page.
The Builder interface contains the pages list, component palette, theme menu, page structure menu, and settings menu.
API Experience Hub isn’t certified for use on mobile devices. Some functionality works on mobile devices, but some functionality such as the API Console does not.
Pages List
The Pages list shows the pages included with API Experience Hub and the pages you have added and enables you to select and edit each page. The included page Home is selected by default.
The Pages list enables you to create new pages by using the New Page option. A new page can be an object page or a standard page. Object pages are used only with Salesforce objects, so a custom community page starts as a standard page. A standard page can start from one of the preconfigured pages or as a new blank page.
Make a new blank page by selecting the layout and then entering the new page’s name and URL. Use that URL to make links to the new page, including links in menus. The new page displays placeholders for content based on the layout.
Fill in a new page by adding components from the Components menu, such as a Headline component in the page header, or an API Experience Hub component such as an API Version Carousel.
The Pages list shows the editable configuration properties for each page, which are described in Manage Your Community’s Pages and Their Properties in Experience Builder.
Components
Clicking the Components lightning bolt icon displays the component palette, which includes Salesforce Experience Cloud components, such as Headline or Featured Topics, and components specific to API Experience Hub, such as API Carousel or API Console.
