Summary
Before you can build a Content Track, you need to upload your content! Upload content assets to the Content Library individually, or in bulk to save time.
We recommend taking the time to tag and edit your content as you upload it. This ensures your Content Library stays organized, and you’re always ready to build a new Content Track!

Asset Governance
