Do this step by step

Open the Experiences library

1. Click the Libraries tab.
2. In the Distribution section, select Experiences to open the overview of Experiences.
3. Change the view by clicking the eye icon:
   • Comfortable view provides a preview of the Experience.
   • Compact view displays Experiences without a thumbnail.

Create a new Experience

1. Select New Experience in the top-right corner.
2. Add an Experience name.
3. Choose your Experience type and continue building your Experience by adding content.

Find and search for Experiences

1. Use the search icon in the top-right corner to find Experiences based on their name.
2. Sort Experiences by clicking the column titles:
   • Name: Lists Experiences alphabetically.
   • Added: Shows when Experiences were originally created.
   • Last update: Displays when an Experience was last updated.
   • Type: Shows the Experience type, including Atom, Mapper, Selector (Advanced Experiences), and Classic Experiences.

Edit an existing Experience

1. Select the Edit Experience button in the top-right corner.
2. Change the current design, add new assets and folders, and control who has access.

Edit existing Experience properties

1. Click on the Experience you want to edit.
2. Click the pencil icon in the Overview section to update the Experience description. This provides context about the Experience for users.
3. Click the copy icon to use the App-Link. This link links the selected Experience to an Advanced Experience.

By clicking the pencil icon in the Settings section, you can update the following:

1. Enable Dynamic Content Filtering: This allows content in the Experience to be displayed based on a user’s Content Profile.
2. Hide from Experiences screen: Enabling this option will hide the Experience from the user’s Home Screen. The Experience is still visible when it’s linked to another Experience.
   This does not remove access for assigned users. They can still search for, open, and share its content. Hidden Experiences are also not shown in the Experiences tab to avoid clutter on mobile clients.
3. Hide empty folders: When enabled, empty folders won’t be visible to users to have a clean Experience.
4. Default view: Choose between grid and list view.

Note: For Advanced Experiences (Atom, Mapper, Selector) and Showpad Apps, you can only update the Dynamic Content Filtering and Hide from Experiences screen settings.

After making updates to your Experience, click Save changes.

The Shared Content Viewer presents the content your users share with their buyers. A theme determines how the content shared from an Experience looks like.
In the Themes section, you can select the themes your users can apply when they share content.
