Scenario/Problem: When authoring or editing a page, you want to add different kinds of content to different sections of the page.
Solution:
Some pages enable you to add web parts to them. To add a web part to a
page, you first need to decide where on the page you want it. Depending
on the type of page, there might be several web part zones you can add
web parts to, or you might have the option to add a web part to a text
control in the page. An app part is the same as a web part, and the act
of adding an app part is almost exactly the same as adding a web part,
but you see slightly different options. The following section
concentrates on adding a web part, but the process is similar for
adding an app part.
Add a Web Part to a Text Editor Control
To add a web part as part of the text in a
text editor control, place your cursor in the location where you want
the web part to be and switch to the Insert tab of the Editing Tools
ribbon.In this
ribbon, click the Web Part button to open a new pane under the ribbon
that allows you to select the web part you want to add (see Figure 1).
FIGURE 1 The Web Part selection pane.
Add a Web Part to a Web Part Zone
Pages that have web part zones show them on
the page as a rectangle, with the zone name above the top-left corner
of the rectangle. If a web part zone is empty, the zone has another
rectangle inside the zone with a link that says Add a Web Part. If the
zone already has one or more web parts in it, the Add a Web Part link
appears above the existing web parts.
Choose a Web Part
The web part selection pane allows you to
find the web part you want, based on the web part’s category (shown on
the left of the pane) and the list of available web parts in the middle
of the pane. When you click one of the web parts, you see the web
part’s description on the right side of the pane . If you click the App Part button , you get a similar interface, but without the Categories section, and only the list view app parts in the Parts section.
The pane shows all the web parts available in
the current site. Some sites offer different web parts than others. You
can browse the categories by clicking on them, and the choices in the
middle of the pane change to reflect the category you clicked.
The first category, Lists and Libraries,
shows all the lists and libraries that exist in the current site. If
you want to add a view of one of those lists or libraries, you can
select the list or library from the list of web parts.
To add the web part you selected to
the page, click the Add button in the pane. SharePoint adds the web
part to the location you chose when you started the process. If you
want to add it to a different location, open the drop-down box with the
different zones under the About the Web Part section of the pane.
