Review the Help topics in the order specified to perform the installation.

1. **[Install the Distributed Marketing Managed Package](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_dm_install_managed_package.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Install the latest Marketing Cloud Engagement Distributed Marketing package version in your Salesforce org.
2. **[Assign Permissions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_dm_assign_permissions.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To grant access to Distributed Marketing, follow these steps to assign the installed permission sets.
3. **[Install Content Blocks](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_dm_install_content_block_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Marketing users with custom content blocks in Content Builder can enable personalization. Register blocks with your Marketing Cloud Engagement account, and then drag them into email content to create areas of collaboration for business users. To use Distributed Marketing content blocks, create a Marketing Cloud Engagement installed package for Distributed Marketing. Then, determine access and add the custom blocks you want to use.
4. **[Use Business Units with Distributed Marketing](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_dm_business_unit_access.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    If you use Marketing Cloud Engagement business units to manage content by categories - like brand, line of business, or region - you can add them to Distributed Marketing to support unique groups of business users. Then, use sharing rules and campaign marketplace to manage the content that groups of sellers, partners, distributors, or agents can access. You can set up business unit access for both Distributed Marketing administrators and standard users in Salesforce Setup. Business users do not require unique Marketing Cloud Engagement logins.
