Key Terms

Content Automation Asset: Image resources that can be uploaded into Content Automation templates. This may include logos, social media graphics, illustrations, photography etc.

Asset Library: The Asset Library is a central repository for all the images, logos and icons used in your documents.

Template: Templates are files that act as a starting point when creating documents. Templates contain pre-formatted elements to help you design your collateral according to your brand's style guidelines. Each template is populated with and controlled by a number of Inputs that allow users to edit the document's content.

Content Automation Tags: Tags are labels you create to meaningfully group teams so that you can efficiently manage the content they have access to.

Overview

The Content Automation Asset Library is home to all images that can be used within Content Automation templates. Asset permissions may be used for two reasons:

  1. To distribute imagery to specific teams

  2. To designate specific images to be used in templates

If you want to assign asset permissions you must first group images via a tag. For example, you may choose to name the tag something like Science and only distribute it to people who need access to science-related imagery.
