The root channel of your site is a content of type Augmented Page. This page will hold all elements that
are used to augment the home page of the WCS. The root channel also serves as the fallback location
for fragments for which no more specific pages are found. Therefore, most of the settings of a site are directly linked
to the root channel.
If the shop connection is properly configured, you will see an additional top level entry in the Studio library that is named after your store (AuroraESite, for instance). Below this node you can open the Product Catalog with categories and products. The Product Catalog node also represents the root category of a catalog.
To have a common ancestor for all augmented catalog pages, the root node of the WCS catalog must be augmented. You can augment the root category by clicking Augment Category in the context menu of the root category. An augmented category content opens up, where you can start to define the default elements of your catalog pages, like the page layouts for the Category Overview Pages (COP) and Product Detail Pages (PDP) and first content elements. All sub categories, augmented or not, will inherit these settings. See Section 6.2.3, “Adding CMS Content to Your Shop Pages” in CoreMedia Studio User Manual for more information.
Now, you can start augmenting sub categories or Product Detail Pages of the catalog. All content and settings are inherited down in this hierarchy. However, you cannot add non-augmented pages to the navigation and inheritance hierarchy. This is different in the content-led scenario.
