StepsEditing objects

Editing a collection or asset allows you to change the same information that you entered when you created the object. You can edit any object except the Content Explorer node.

  1. To edit a collection or asset, select the object and click Edit.

StepsDeleting objects

Deleting a collection or asset removes the selected object and all of that object’s descendents. For example, if you delete a folder, all subfolders within that folder are also deleted.

  1. To delete a collection or asset, select the object you want to delete and click Delete. You can delete any object except the Content Explorer node.

  2. A confirmation dialog box displays asking you to confirm that you really want to delete the selected object.

StepsMoving objects

When you move an object, you change that object’s hierarchical association. If the new association is in a different collection, the selected object and all object’s contained within that object reflect that the objects are in the new collection.The object you are moving is the “source.” The object into which the source is moved is the “destination.” All objects are moved using cut and paste functionality.

  1. Select the object you want to move and click Cut Selected.

    Information about the selected object is moved to an internal paste buffer.

  2. Select the new object into which you are moving the source object and click Paste.

    Once the paste operation is completed, the selected object is removed from the internal paste buffer.
