Content Manager Overview

Content Manager is a searchable repository for all of your account's creative content: images and layered content, code snippets, font files, and location lists used in various functions and features.

To access Content Manager, click COMPONENTS in the top navigation bar, and then select Content.

Any time you click CHOOSE when building an action in Action Builder or configuring an action in Experience Editor that involves an image, Content Manager loads in a modal.

Images

When you access Content Manager, the Images tab loads. Here you see all the image files uploaded to and created in the platform.

Use the search field to locate an image by name or type. You can also click FILTERS to access options so that you can sort images by type, image size, or date range.

After you click an image thumbnail, a modal appears with a larger view of the image along with the following information about it:

  • Width and height in pixels
  • Date the image was last updated
  • User who created the image
  • Tags assigned to the image
  • Experiences built to use the image
  • Action templates built to use the image
  • Included assets

From this modal you can edit the image in Content Builder, duplicate the image, or delete it.

You can upload any standard pixel-based image to Content Manager:

  • JPG/JPEG
  • PNG
  • TIF/TIFF
  • GIF
  • BMP

You can upload animated GIF images to Content Manager to use in email experiences as well as in Dynamic Testing and Automated Personalization Web experiences. However, there are a few conditions:

  • The image must be smaller than 1 MB.
  • A warning box appears when you attempt to open a GIF in Content Builder.
  • You can only add a click zone layer to a GIF in Content Builder. You cannot modify it any other way.
  • If you try to modify the GIF any other way in Content Builder, such as adding a rectangle layer or dynamic text in a text layer, then Content Manager transforms the GIF into a static image.

You cannot upload vector-based images:

  • SVG
  • EPS
  • AI
  • PSD

You can also create a new image by clicking CREATE NEW to launch Content Builder.

Callout of the 'CREATE NEW' button on the Images tab of Content Manager

See the Content Builder category of the User Guide for more information about using that tool.
