Validate XML from the Components tab

To ensure your content is structured correctly or view a list of errors if validation fails, you can easily validate XML components from the components browser without opening them in the editor.

  1. Click Components_TopMenuOpt Components.
  2. In the Folders pane, navigate to the folder where you've saved the component.
  3. In the Components pane, select the component you want to open.
    You can verify you have the correct component by looking in the Content details pane at the preview.

    If the pane isn't open, click the down arrow in the pane's title bar.

    If you think the preview isn't showing the latest version, click Refresh .

  4. Right-click the component, select Actions, and then select Validate XML.
    Result: Component validation completes and a message displays if there are no validation errors. If there are validation errors, a dialog displays a list of the validation errors for the component.
