When developing with the Sitecore ASP.NET Core Rendering SDK, you need to register component renderers within the rendering host’s Startup.cs class to map a Sitecore rendering component name to an implementation. This allows the Sitecore Rendering Engine to render the content fetched from the Sitecore Layout Service using the appropriate component renderer. For example, you can map a Sitecore layout component name to a view component rendering or a partial view rendering. You can use the AddViewComponent() and AddPartialView() extension methods to register component renderers in the Startup.cs class. References:

According to Sitecore best practices, presentation details should be set on the standard values of the template that defines the item. This way, all items that are based on the same template will inherit the same presentation details, unless they are explicitly overridden. Setting presentation details on the standard values also allows resetting modified item presentation settings to default values. Setting presentation details on the individual items is not recommended, as it increases the maintenance cost and complexity of the presentation layer. Rendering parameters are used to control how renderings function, not to designate layouts. Standard template is a base template that all templates inherit from, and it does not have any presentation details. References:

Image is considered a complex field in Sitecore MVC because it requires additional parameters and logic to render properly, such as the image source, width, height, alt text, and so on. The Html.Sitecore().Field() method is designed for simple fields that only need the field name and value to render. For complex fields, you should use the Html.Sitecore().Rendering() method instead, which allows you to specify the rendering parameters and the rendering item for the field. Alternatively, you can use the Sitecore MVC helpers, such as @Html.Sitecore().Image(), to render complex fields with more control and flexibility. References:

This answer is based on the Sitecore documentation of rendering content with MVC1. When developing a component using Sitecore MVC, you can use the Field() helper method to render a field from an item. This method returns an HTML string that contains the field value and the necessary markup to make the field editable in Experience Editor. The Field() helper method can be used with the Sitecore HtmlHelper class, which provides extension methods for the ASP.NET MVC HtmlHelper class. For example, you can use the following syntax to render a field named Title from the current context item:

@Html.Sitecore().Field(“Title”)

You can also specify a different item or a rendering parameter to render the field from:

@Html.Sitecore().Field(“Title”, Model.Item) //Datasource item @Html.Sitecore().Field(“Title”, Model.PageItem) //Explicit page item

The Field() helper method supports various field types, such as single-line text, rich text, image, link, and checkbox. It also supports rendering fields with custom parameters, such as width, height, class, or alt. For example, you can use the following syntax to render an image field with a custom width and height:

@Html.Sitecore().Field(“Image”, new { w = 200, h = 100 })

The Field() helper method is the recommended way to render fields in Sitecore MVC, as it ensures that the fields are editable in Experience Editor and that the field values are properly encoded and formatted. However, there are some limitations and considerations when using the Field() helper method, such as:

• The Field() helper method does not support rendering fields that are not part of the current item or its base templates. To render such fields, you need to use the FieldRenderer class or the sc:Field control.
• The Field() helper method does not support rendering fields that are part of a complex data structure, such as a list or a dictionary. To render such fields, you need to use the sc:List or sc:Dictionary controls.
• The Field() helper method does not support rendering fields that are part of a dynamic placeholder. To render such fields, you need to use the sc:DynamicPlaceholder control.
• The Field() helper method does not support rendering fields that are part of a rendering variant. To render such fields, you need to use the sc:VariantField control.

The Experience Editor, the Content Editor, and the Workbox are three areas of Sitecore that allow you to view the available workflow commands of an item you are editing. The workflow commands are the actions that you can perform on an item in a workflow, such as Submit, Approve, Reject, or Publish. The workflow commands are displayed in different ways depending on the area of Sitecore you are using:

• In the Experience Editor, the workflow commands are displayed in the Workflow group on the Review tab of the ribbon1.
• In the Content Editor, the workflow commands are displayed in the Workflow group on the Home tab of the ribbon2.
• In the Workbox, the workflow commands are displayed as buttons in the workflow state pane for each item3.

The Security Editor, the Workflow Command, and the Path Analyzer are not areas of Sitecore that allow you to view the available workflow commands of an item you are editing. The Security Editor is a tool that allows you to manage access rights for users and roles4. The Workflow Command is a template that defines the properties of a workflow command, such as the name, the next state, and the actions5. The Path Analyzer is a tool that allows you to analyze the paths that visitors take on your website. References: 1: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/101/sitecore-experience-platform/the-workflow-group.html  2: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/101/sitecore-experience-platform/the-workflow-group-in-the-content-editor.html  3: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/101/sitecore-experience-platform/workflows-and-the-workbox.html  4: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/101/platform-administration-and-architecture/the-security-editor.html  5: https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/101/sitecore-experience-manager/defining-workflows.html : https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/users/101/sitecore-experience-platform/path-analyzer.html

Includes are used to configure the serialization of content item trees. You configure includes with a name property that becomes a folder name in your file system and a path property that specifies what part of your content item tree to serialize. For example, toserialize your entire content item tree to the serialization\content\ folder in your file system, add this to your Project.module.json file and run the sitecore ser pull command: “items”: { “includes”: [ { “name”: “content”, “path”: “/sitecore/content/home” } ] } References:

Dynamic component binding is a technique that allows you to define a placeholder in your view and then use the Experience Editor or the Content Editor to add, remove, or reorder the components that are rendered in that placeholder. This gives you more flexibility and control over the presentation of a page, as you can change the components without modifying the code. Dynamic component binding also supports personalization, as you can use the Rule Set Editor to define conditions and actions that determine whichcomponents are displayed to different visitors or segments. For example, you can personalize a component by specifying that visitors who meet some predefined conditions are shown a particular variant of the component. Static component binding, on the other hand, is a technique that renders a specific component in a specific location on the page. This means that the component is always the same and cannot be changed or personalized by the Experience Editor or the Content Editor. Static component binding is useful when you want to ensure consistency and simplicity in the presentation of a page, but it does not allow you to use personalization to change the component. References:
