Components have disappeared

Hello, 

I was working on a new page when all of the components in the AEM floating toolbox disappeared. I even tried to Right click on a component section and add a new component but I still have no components to select. I have closed my browers and cleared my cache and even tried another browser but nothing will help.

Would really appreciate any help since I cannot build any pages at this point.

Thanks - Malissa

Goto the design mode and add the component group. Come back to edit mode and you should be able to see the components

If it was available before and then kind of disappeared, then check if you are seeing any error in your browser.

Hi 

As mentioned by Lokesh, if the components were coming earlier and missing now, then please check the browser logs and AEM error.log.

 

Else

 

Please follow the steps mentioned below :-

By default, the sidekick doesn’t display the newly created components. You need to enable them explicitly in a CQ author instance.

Create the component.
Using SiteAdmin, open the page that you want to edit in the Author instance.
From the sidekick, click the Design tab.
In the Design of Paragraph tab that appears, click Edit.

Find the component based on the ComponentGroup property you defined and enable it.

This is how you can add the components.

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

When I try to do this, clicking on Design in the sidekick makes it roll-up so I can't do anything else. I have restarted my PC and I have no browser errors. The components I was using are not new and they have been used to build a few of our websites (created for us by an outside agency who helped set up AEM). 

Any other ideas?

Once you go to the design mode, you will see a parsys edit bar, click on that to add the components.

If you dont have the parsys in your page, then pls contact the developer to help you out !
