Section
Sections are a way for content teams to add additional metadata to an asset, and they can be used in two ways:
- Assets can be assigned to sections.
- A section can be its own page that lists associated assets.
Sections are often used in navigation menus to direct visitors to content that interest them most.
To create a section:
- In the header, click .
- From the Create list, select Section.
- Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
- Complete your site's workflow and publish the section.
- As necessary, add associated content to this asset. For details, see Creating associated content.
