This is a Bulk update, where you can add a rendering to existing pages with a particular template type. For new pages, simply add rendering to branch template.
Add-Rendering will add the new rendering to Final Layout or shared Layout. the main trick is -Index 1 will decide the place of the component. Like after Header or After Footer. Let's say if you have 3 components on the final layout and you want to add New rendering at 2nd place. Index should be 1. Index starts with 0.
