Reviews Component Layout
Overview
This category is used for both site testimonials and product reviews. It replaces the older Testimonials category (see Upgrade Notes below).
Template Set: reviews, then set the appropriate component layout for either product reviews or testimonials (the default is the main product reviews). (Note: early framework sites may have the template set to product-reviews, but we want to transition away from this.)
Category component identifier:
The product reviews category must have a component identifier of “reviews”
If you want to have separate product reviews and testimonial categories, the testimonials category should have its own component identifier, like “testimonials” (though it can be anything you like).
