Adding content to the Content Library

2. If you choose to add Social Media content, the following box will appear. You will first need to add a relevant title for your content so that you can easily locate it once it’s added.

7. If you’re looking to add a blog post or basic email to your Content Library for later use and have selected the Blog Posts option, the pop-up that appears will be much the same as the Social Media pop-up but it will also include Rich Text options which allow you to format your text, insert HTML, etc. as this is supported by blogs and in emails but not on social sites.

Searching for and managing content in the Content Library

1. Once content has been added to a Content Library, you can search for content added by particular users by selecting their user account name in the User Filter.

4. You can view different Content Libraries by selecting the name of that Content Library in the list on the right side of the page.

1. Click the Edit icon for your Content Library.
   
2. In the dialogue box, you will be able to add Consumers (those who can use content from the Library) and Contributors (those who can add content to the Library). In both cases, you can choose from a drop-down list of the other users on your account.
