Managing Fragments

Liferay DXP provides tools for managing fragments in the Liferay UI. With out-of-the-box tools, you can quickly edit fragment code, export/import fragment sets between sites, and more.

tip

To share fragments and sets between sites, add them to the Global site or use the export/import actions.

Managing Fragment Sets

1. Open the Site Menu () and go to Design → Fragments.

2. Select the desired fragment set.

3. Click the set’s Actions button ().

   

4. Select an action:

   Edit: Change the name or description for the fragment set.

   Export: Download the fragment set as a .zip file. This file includes the set’s .json, fragment code, and resources.

   Import: Upload fragments and resources to a set as a .zip file. During import, check Overwrite Existing Files to overwrite existing fragments with the same fragment name. If an imported fragment has invalid rules, it is saved as a draft.

   Delete: Remove the current fragment set and all its contents.

tip

To export multiple sets, click the Fragment Sets Actions button () and select Export. Then, check the sets you want to export and click Export. Each set is downloaded as a separate .zip file.

Managing Individual Page Fragments

   Rename: Change the fragment’s name.

   Export: Download the fragment as a .zip file.

   Make a Copy: Duplicate the fragment. Duplicated fragments share the same name with (Copy) appended to the end.
