To change the functionality of a content slot from displaying top sellers to rendering a specific content asset, the necessary actions include: B. Change the rendering template in the slot configuration. This action involves adjusting the template used to render the slot content, ensuring it is appropriate for displaying a content asset instead of a product list. D. Change the content type for the slot configuration. This change specifies what type of content the slot should handle, switching from product-based content to a content asset. This adjustment in the slot configuration is essential for tailoring the content experience to be more personalized, as it defines the type of content that will be rendered in the slot.
These changes are sufficient to alter the slot's behavior without needing to delete the existing slot or only adjust default settings without changing the content type.
