Page Genome
Page Genome is the Collab Aura approach for organizing pages by experience category, layout behavior, device target, and future variation.
The public concept is simple: a page should preserve its product intent instead of becoming only old code that future teams need to patch.
Why it exists
Business pages change over time.
They may need desktop and mobile variants, different layout behavior, localization, or customer-specific preferences. Without structure, those changes often become forks, conditionals, and patches.
Page Genome keeps the page connected to its original intent.
What it can describe
A page genome can describe:
- the type of experience;
- the target device category;
- the layout behavior;
- language or publishing variation;
- component contracts;
- what can vary;
- what should remain consistent.
What not to expose
Internal folder names and page codes should not be treated as public concepts.
The public documentation should explain the model, not require customers to learn internal naming.
