According to the Sitecore XM Cloud Documentation for Developers1, headless variants are a way to create different versions of a rendering that can be used in different contexts or scenarios. A headless variant defines the layout, style, and content of a rendering using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can create headless variants for your components in the Components builder and use them in your XM Cloud Pages.Headless variants allow you to reuse the same component with different appearances and contents without creating multiple renderings2.
