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.
