Custom component in SXA hidden in toolbox

Question

I am having issue adding new custom feature to page in SXA.

Steps I followed:

1. Created custom area for toolbox by adding feature in system->settings->features->custom features.

2. Next, I cloned existing promo rendering to the custom folder under layout->rendering->feature->custom features.

3. Last I added custom feature rendering to 'available renderings' under presentation.

After following these steps, when I tried to add the custom promo to page, it is not showing up. After checking presentation details, I see custom promo under final layout, not shared layout.

I am using Sitecore 9.0.1 with SXA 1.6. Thanks

Answer 1

Use Clone rendering feature for that.

https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_accelerator/setting_up_and_configuring/configuring/copy_and_customize_an_sxa_rendering

section: Copy and customize a rendering

It will take care of everything, doing this manually is difficult and unnecessary with the new feature.

EDIT:

I think 1.6 is missing some auto-steps.

1. Make sure that you have your custom CSS class or use old (promo is defaul class for Promo rendering)
2. Assign your rendering to compatible renderings variants or create new node
