Consult this table to find out which Aura template each component can be used in, and when the component became available.") you can use to build out your site.

## Add Pages and Components

To view all components in the Components panel, select **Settings** | **Advanced** and click **Show All Components** in the Components Panel area. Some page functions require that you create a page in Experience Builder.

For example:

- To view reports, add a report object page to your site.
- To include a Chatter feed in the site, create a Feed Detail page.
- To let community members post questions and answers, add a Question Detail page.

Note Beginning in Summer ’26, Chatter is turned off by default in all new orgs. For any features in these orgs that require access to Chatter functionality or the Chatter APIs, turn on Chatter by going to **Setup** | **Chatter Settings** and selecting **Enable**. For details, see [Chatter Is Turned Off by Default in New Orgs Beginning in Summer ’26](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_chatter_default_off.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
