Key terms

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

Team Libraries: Team Libraries enable team members to access and share imagery relevant to the team/s they are part of. This imagery can be used in documents that users create, where template permissions permit.

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

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

How to Setup Team Libraries in the Asset Library

  1. Head to Account Settings in the side navigation menu.

To view all team libraries:

  1. In the left-hand navigation menu, select Assets.

  2. Navigate to Team Libraries and select the drop-down arrow.

  3. All team libraries will then be visible in alphabetical order. By default, the first ten teams will be visible with the option to Show more.

You’ll also see the option to search for team libraries. If you search for a team, all teams will be searched regardless of what teams are currently visible on the page.

To remove an image from a Team Library:

As assets in a team library are shared amongst the team and can be inserted in team member’s documents, please be mindful that removing an asset from the team library can impact your teams work.

Given the potential flow-on effect deleting a shared asset can have, only Admins can remove images from a team library.

To remove an image from a team library.

  1. Navigate to the relevant team library.

  2. Hover over the image you intend to remove. A trash can icon will appear on the asset.

  3. Select the trash can icon.
