You can access a lot of customization options through track settings. Each individual content track has its own settings you can change, which override any platform-wide defaults.
To access track settings, navigate to Standard Experiences (formerly Campaign Tools), choose the track type, and then select the track you wish to customize. The track settings appear in the left sidebar.
Customize the URL
The URL Slug is the customizable part of your Track’s URL. A URL Slug is automatically generated when you create a new track, but you have the ability to change it to whatever you want!
URL Slugs can help improve SEO, so make it something relevant to your content track.
|
Note
|
Changing the URL Slug in Track Settings affects the URL of the entire track. If you want to customize the URL slug of a content asset you can do so in the Content Library. |
- Under Track Settings click Custom URL.
Custom URL - Type in your custom URL and click Update to save.

Search Engine Directive
The Search Engine Directive option allows you to choose how to direct search engine crawlers when they hit your content track. When creating new tracks, they will adopt the default settings you specify in Organization Settings > Search Engine Directive.
You can edit individual tracks to change the default setting.

Warning
|
The tag doesn’t apply immediately. Your content track will need to be re-indexed by a search engine for the change to take effect. |
