How to select path to the component

Things to know when referencing content from another page:
- If you are referencing a component from another site, only authors of that site can edit or publish the content.
- If a referenced component is moved out of or into a layout component in the content you are referencing, the component will no longer appear in your page. The referenced component path will need to be manually updated.
