Manually add content to a Classic Experience

Experiences allow you to organize your content and distribute it to relevant users or user groups in Showpad. Once you’ve created an Experience and set up a folder structure, your next step is to add content from your Content Library to the Experience Builder, where you can edit your Experience.

There are two ways to add content to an Experience:

• Manually by searching for and selecting content
• Automatically by using Smart Folders
