Content Basics

About content

Content is a file that has been uploaded to the Adobe Connect system. These files can be used in other items as requirements or added material. Content can be used in virtual classrooms, curriculums, and meetings.

Content library

All of the content is stored here for viewing purposes. Content can be added through the navigation bar; it can be organized and deleted this way also. The content and the folders they are in can be edited and permissions can be set to determine which users can view and edit these files or folders.

Shared Content has any content that has been put into this folder, for anyone to view.

User Content has a folder for each instructor or teaching assistant with content permissions and in these folders is their content.

My Content has all the content you have added.

A summary of the content is provided under Content Dashboard.

Viewed by: Administrators, Administrators-Limited, Training Managers, Meeting Hosts, and Authors.
