CMS 10.6 Previewing Content Units in the Design Tab


Prerequisites:

Preview a thumbnail of presentation content units within the Design tab.

Important
Users can preview only the thumbnail of the content unit within the Design tab.
Each content unit available for Page Builder presentations associates with a view. The built-in views associated with content units reside in the Assets Manager filepath Assets\Views\Shared\Editable. Administrators can edit these views in Administration > Presentation Content Units.

To preview content units:
  1. Expand the Design accordion menu option in the Design tab.
    The Row Layouts section displays.
  2. Select the Content section in the accordion menu Design pane.
    A list of field and component content units displays.

  4. Select the View Thumbnail icon View Thumbnail Icon associated with individual content units in either the list view or trays view to preview the each unit's thumbnail.

    A dialog displays, previewing the thumbnail for the content unit. If a content tray doesn't associate with a thumbnail, then the pop-up dialog displays a stock graphic.

    Troubleshooting
    If no thumbnail displays in preview, then administrators may need to provide a thumbnail for the content unit.
