Referencing authoring tool components

The authoring tool tag is used to reference an authoring tool component within menu element designs and navigator element designs. When added to menus and navigators, the edit, delete and approve functions are applied to each item displayed in a menu or navigator. The approve button will only be visible if the menu or navigator is displayed when previewing a draft content item. This tag can also be referenced within presentation templates, but it is recommended that a component tag be used instead.

<AuthoringTool context=" " name=" " start=" " end=" " />
