      The Rich Content Editor contains vertical, horizontal, and side by side preconfigured layouts

      1. Double-click the image container.
      2. From the file picker pop-up, select an image.
        Or, if you have previously selected images, select the image from the available images on the right side of the Select Image pop-up.

      Selecting Save saves your content and you remain on the Rich Content Editor canvas. Selecting Save and Finish saves your record and returns you to the New content form.

    What to do next

    • Preview your content from the New content form.
      Note:
      Content Preview is designed to provide a general idea of how your content looks. Content may look different once published due to variations in device resolution, theme difference, or mobile app style configuration.
    • (Optional) Translate your content.

      Select a different language to view your session or request a language translation for the content you are creating. For more information, see Language support for Content Experiences and Content Publishing.

      Use the Language settings drop-down menu to select a different language to view your session in or request a language translation for the content you are creating.
      • Switch language: This allows you to switch your system settings language to a different language. This is similar to changing your language at login. For more information, see Switch language for Content Publishing.
      • Translate content: When you activate the sn_cd.enable_localization_framework_integration system property, created content from the Content Library displays the Translate content selection from the Language settings drop-down. This allows you to request translation for the content to the language you selected. For more information, see Integration with Localization Framework.
        Note:
        Only translate content after you are done modifying the content. For best results, we do not recommend that you add or remove components or change the formatting after translation.

        To create rich content that is formatted differently in different languages, duplicate the content and modify the formatting as needed. Then, use Audiences to target the content to users by language. See Audiences

    • Configure a publish plan to control where the content is delivered, the audience, and the period of time it is available: Create a publish plan for your content.
