Using A Content Editor

A content editor is a tabbed window displayed in Content Studio's work area that you can use to edit a content item. To open a content editor:

  • Double-click on a content item or select one and press Enter. It doesn't matter where you select the content item. You can select it in the search results list in the search panel, in a section inbox/list, in your clipboard or in a section page editor.

  • Select File > New, and then select the type of content item you want to create from the displayed sub menu. The options available in this sub menu vary from publication to publication.

A content editor contains three main areas:

  • Attribute ribbons (at the top of the window)

  • Field tabs (the main part of the window)

  • Save/preview/state controls (at the bottom of the window)

This description covers the basic content editor functionality delivered by Escenic. Your Content Studio installation may include additions that are not described here.
