The name does not have to be unique. To change the name, edit the content store element. When you upload an image to a CMS paragraph, Mapp Engage generates the name of the content store element from the file name. When you upload an image during HTML email creation, Mapp Engage generates the name of the element name from the image name in the HTML. For more information, see Store Email Images to the Content Store Automatically. |
ID | Shows the ID of the content store element. When you create a content store element, Mapp Engage assigns the element a unique ID number. You can use this ID number to search for the element anywhere in the system. |
Description | Shows a description of the content store element. The owner of the content store element creates the description. To change the description, edit the content store element.
