Commerce Composer widget library
WebSphere Commerce provides over two dozen layout widgets that we can use in the Commerce Composer tool to create layouts for store pages.
The three columns on the right identify widgets that must be used in layouts for specific pages. For more information about these page-dependent widgets, see Widgets for Commerce Composer.
