Perform Actions While Viewing a Business Content Item

While viewing an asset, you can perform the following actions.

Task Description
Preview the asset in layouts If the asset has a layout associated with the underlying asset type, you can view the asset in those layouts. By default you see the asset in the content form view—the field names and values from the asset type.
  • If there are other layouts configured for the associated asset type, you can preview them by selecting a layout from the drop-down list.
  • By default, the asset is set to fit the browser window. After selecting another layout or site page, you can select different device sizes. You can also create your own device size. After selecting a device size, you can change the orientation by clicking Change orientation icon.
  • To show the ruler and manually change the device size, click editor ruler icon, then move the handles to change the height and width.
Compare content item versions If a content item has been edited and has more than one version in a repository, you can open the content item and easily compare differences between versions by clicking Compare Versions.
View items referenced in a content item If the content item references other digital assets or content items, in the Content Form View, next to the referenced item you want to view, click Preview icon. A slide-out panel opens, showing the referenced item.
Move the asset through review If the asset requires review, you have different options depending on how the repository is configured:
  • Basic review: Click Submit for Review. If it's already submitted and you're a repository administrator, you can Approve or Reject the asset.
  • Workflow: click the additional properties pane, then, in the drop-down menu, select Workflows to move the asset through workflow.
Edit the asset To edit an asset, click Edit. While editing a content item, you can add or edit values, media, or content item references. You can also change the language assigned to the content item, as long as content item's translation set doesn't already include a version in the newly selected language.

Close the asset To close the asset, click Close.
View the asset's properties To view the asset's properties, click the additional properties pane, then, in the drop-down menu, select Properties. The properties include read-only information such as when the item was created and last updated.
View the asset history To view the asset history, view a list of previous versions, or revert to a previous version, click the version number on the asset tile or click Properties, and then click the Activity tab.
View the asset's categories If a taxonomy is associated with the repository the asset is stored in, you can view and manage the categories assigned to the asset by clicking the additional properties pane, then, in the drop-down menu, selecting Categories.
