Assets are reusable, structured content elements that are used on multiple pages.

Assets in Modern Campus work similarly to "blocks" in Cascade. If you can place your content—whether text or images—into a block, that block (or Asset) can then be deployed within a page wherever the Asset is placed

They can be used on both Landing Pages and Interior Pages. Unlike Snippets, each Asset always maintains the same form and cannot be configured on a page-by-page basis. These plain text Assets are typically created by your department. Below are visual examples of some of the most commonly used Assets in the CMS for Interior Page.

Be sure to read the Getting Started page to see where to find the Asset option in the MC Editor. (Hint- It's the rotating arrow icon.)

(Select: The name of your image Asset that you created in drop down.)

For the example, we used the 'finance-sidebar-img' image as a Web content Asset, which would be used for placing this image of a building in the right sidebar across multiple pages. Feel free to create your own reusable Web Content image Asset.
