Follow these tips to find Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) content within edit view.

- To find content *in a page, asset, or block structure*, select content from the page tree structure or the blocks and media assets panel.
- To find content *on a website*, use the preview option to go to the content on the website.
- To find content *associated with a project*, If you are using the [projects feature](https://support.optimizely.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413200672653), use the project overview or the project items navigation panes.
- To find text *within the content title or body*, use the global search in the top menu or the search fields at the top of the navigation and assets panes.
  - The global search can search all types of content on the website (depending on the configured search provider).

  - Search fields in navigation and assets panels search for content in the respective panel and related dialogs. See [Search](https://support.optimizely.com/hc/en-us/articles/4413205667597).

- To find *a page's status* (for example, draft), use the **Tasks** tab to find all content in that status.

- To find *recently edited content*, use the *Recently changed* status in the **Tasks** tab.
