First, follow these steps to [Serve Your Experience Cloud Site with the Salesforce Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_salesforce_cdn.htm&type=5&language=en_US). Then create a public CMS channel.

To configure Salesforce CDN and link your domain to a public CMS channel so the Salesforce CDN can serve the content, take these steps.

1. To link your domain to a public CMS channel so the Salesforce CDN can serve the content, in Lightning Experience, from the App Launcher, open the Digital Experiences app (previously named Salesforce CMS).
2. To open the CMS Channels tab, click ![down arrow image](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/communities_managed_content/images/cms_down_arrow.png) (1), then click **CMS Channels** (2).
    
    ![The Digital Experience Home tab is highlighted. First select the down arrow to show the menu, then select CMS Channels.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/communities_managed_content/images/cms_channels_tab.png)
3. To serve content from a Salesforce CMS workspace, edit a public channel associated with that CMS workspace. Click ![Dropdown icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/resources-global/_corporate/images/dropdown.png), and select **Edit**.
4. To set a cache duration for CMS content served in Salesforce CDN channels, click the General tab. Set the duration for as little as 1 hour and as many as 8,760 hours, which is 1 year.
    - In a public channel or a site channel, use a long cache duration for images and documents that change infrequently, like your company logo. The default is 720 hours, which is 30 days.
    - In a public channel, for other content types that change frequently and that you want to render soon after you publish, use a short duration. The default is 1 hour.
    - In a site channel, the default cache duration for other content types is 1 hour, and you can’t change it.
5. To configure a domain to link content associated with the public channel to the Salesforce CDN, click the Domain tab. Select a domain from the menu and enable or disable it.
    - The default domain for public channels requires My Domain. If you don’t have a deployed My Domain, set one up and deploy it to your users.
    - If you have a deployed My Domain, you can start sharing your Salesforce CMS content to a public channel with the default domain. Select the default My Domain URL. The default domain URL format is `https://MyDomainName.cdn.salesforce-experiences.com`.
6. To serve Salesforce CMS content in enhanced emails, use the Salesforce CDN as your channel domain. Create an [interactive email design experience](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=pardot_eilex_setup.htm&language=en_US) with enhanced emails in Account Engagement. Make sure that you use [Connected Campaigns and Handlebars Merge Language](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=pardot_handlebars_merge_language.htm&language=en_US) and enable Account Engagement through a verified [Salesforce Connector](https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=pardot_sf_connector_setup_v2_parent.htm&language=en_US). Then, select a public channel associated with a CMS workspace to source your images.
