Assets

Assets are reusable content in Omni CMS that provide a single source of content for use on multiple pages. When the asset is edited and published the content automatically updates on each page the asset was placed on. The different types of assets also allow for some more complicated types of content than you can create in the page editor. You cannot edit an asset on a page, but must open the original asset to make and save any changes.

To insert a asset on a page you're editing:

1.  Click Insert Asset assets from the tool bar.

2.  Select the appropriate asset from the list of options or type the asset name in the "filter by name" text field.
