Manage Content Assets in B2C Commerce

Non-product content takes many forms. You can add images, HTML content, strings, text, or numeric content.

Specify a custom pipeline name and start node, with the function name defining the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) to be used. You can also include content snippets from a self-defined pipeline; choose and enforce a certain protocol or include other content assets within a content asset.

We provide a content inventory template that you can use to track the content across your site.

Note Salesforce B2C Commerce indexes the content data in the site library, whether it's a private or a shared library. If a site uses a shared library, the data in its private library doesn't appear in any search index. Indexing considers site-specific attribute values for content assets when indexing them.

Note If you have Manage_Site_Library permission to edit an asset in a locale, the locale must be active for one of the sites for which you have access permission. If the locale isn't enabled, you can't edit content in that locale.
