    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    The steps below guide you in creating a content template based on the form that appears when you navigate to All > Content Publishing > Content Templates > Create New.

    If you instead navigate to All > Content Publishing > Content Templates > View All then click New, the form has the same fields but with different field names. Also, that form does not provide the ability to add a content destination, audience, or content categories to the template. Instead, you define a Content template record, then open the Content template to add the content destination, audience, or content categories.
    Hinweis:
    The Content template must have a defined content destination and audience to appear as an option in the Content Library Publish tab.
