Finding and Filtering Available Content

On the Add Content page, two types of content will be available to add, by default:

Newspaper Icon: Items showing a Newspaper icon are Blog posts and are also publish automatically to your blog page.
Bell icon: Items showing a Bell icon are Updates (publications).

1. You can filter out for ONLY Updates using the Filter menu in the top-right corner. Select Update under Content Type and then click Filter at the bottom of the menu.

You may also filter to display only specific hubs. For example, if you'd like to display only Updates that you have added to Your Hub, you can find and select your hub under Hub Name.

2. After applying a filter, your display will refresh to show you all available content that applies under that filter.

Searching for Available Content

1. You can also use the Search box in the top-left corner to refine your search results. Empty the search box and search again to clear your search results back to the default list.

2. Click the checkbox beside an Update's name to add it to your Collection.

Note: Searching for content will clear any previously selected items. Make sure you add your content before performing a search.

Organizing the Display Order and Saving Your Collection

1. The Updates have now been added to your Collection. You may adjust the order in which they are displayed by selecting Edit Display Order or make any other further alterations. Select Edit Display Order again to stop managing the display order.

2. When you are finished making changes to your collection, click Save All Changes to save your Content Collection.

3. Your Content Collection may now be displayed on your web page using the Updates web gadget if it has been previously configured to display.
