Upload Images From a CMS Message to the Content Store

Goal​

An image is uploaded automatically when editing a paragraph in the Content Store.

Prerequisite​

This procedure can only be used with paragraphs that include an image.

Background Information​

The Content Store stores various media formats (e.g. images, text, HTML, and other components) for use in messages (see ​Content Store​). The content is then available for use in different messages.

When editing a paragraph, media previously saved to the Content Store can be searched and reused. If a graphic is not yet saved in the Content Store, it can be loaded directly from your desktop, linked to the message, and also saved to the Content Store.

Procedure​

1. In the ​Main Navigation​ menu, select ​Content Management​ .
   ⇒ The ​CMS Message Overview​ window opens.
2. Create a new message or edit an existing message.
3. Edit the paragraphs in which an image is inserted.
4. Click the ​Upload File​ button next to the input field URL where the image path is to be inserted.
5. Select the file on your computer and upload it to Engage.
   ⇒ The file name is displayed in the input field ​URL​.
6. Edit any additional settings as required for the paragraph.
7. Click the button ​Save & View​.
   ⇒ The preview (window) for the paragraph opens.
   The input field ​URL​ is deactivated and the path to the graphic is displayed. This path is also the file name of the graphic in the Content Store.
