From Setup, enter Components in the Quick Find box, then select **Visualforce Components** to display the Components list page, which shows the list of custom components defined for your organization. From this page you can:

- Click **New** to [define a new custom component](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.pages_custom_components_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Visualforce components are small, reusable pieces of functionality—think widgets, panels, user interface elements, that kind of thing—that you use in Visualforce page markup. You can use standard Visualforce components, and create your own custom components.").
- Click a custom component name to [display detailed information about the component](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.pages_custom_components_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A custom component encapsulates a common design pattern that can be reused in one or more Visualforce pages.").
- Click **Edit** to [modify a component's name or markup](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.pages_custom_components_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A custom component encapsulates a common design pattern that can be reused in one or more Visualforce pages.").

The namespace prefix is added to Apex classes and triggers, Visualforce components and pages, brand templates, folders, s-controls, static resources, web links, and custom report types if they are included in a managed package. However, if you don't have customize application permissions, the namespace prefix field is not displayed for brand templates, folders, and custom report types.
