Uploading New Content in Connect

Connect allows you the ability to upload and edit content for your messages using an HTML editor. Connect uploads the content onto the content server inside of a selected repository. The content is able to be created independently of Connect's HTML editor by Creative or Marketing teams. Once uploaded, you are able to edit the content in Connect using the HTML Editor without the need to involve your Creative or Marketing teams again. For more information on how to use the HTML editor to create content, please see Editing Content in Connect
