Product Dynamic Content

The Product Picker Dynamic Content function is used for displaying products as dynamic content. In Edit mode in EPiServer CMS, the editor can use the function to display product information from the product catalog. This adds to the many possibilities with dynamic content, where you can reuse and display content in multiple places on the website, but will only need to update the information in one location.
