--- title: Content workspace slug: content-marketing-platform/docs/content-workspace docTags: createdAt: 2026-07-20T15:45:42.231Z --- Flexible workflows and editors handle marketing content and let you produce the content assets that campaigns depend on. The content workspace lets you upload, comment on, and version any file format that supports task completion (such as images, videos, presentations, PDFs) in a task so that you can create, collaborate, and approve various non-article content. ## Upload assets to the content workspace Click **+Add Content** in the **Content** tab of a task to create or upload assets to the content workspace and select the option you want. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/deiTQqylFYbcXt5dk8Fg1-20260720-145851.png) :::hint{type="info"} You should allow all subdomains of `cmp.optimizely.com`, `welcomesoftware.com`, `newscred.com`, and `s3.amazonaws.com` to avoid issues when uploading files. ::: **Select From** lets you upload content from **Your Device** or choose from the **Library** or **Marketplace**. Select **Add URL** to paste a link to a piece of content from a non-gated website. You can embed content from supported websites like Google Workspace, Figma, Canva, and Milanote.

For images, enter a description and select your **Preferred Aspect Ratio**, then click **Create**. :::hint{type="info"} **Note** An administrator can toggle generative AI availability off for all users of an instance from the **Opti ID Admin Center**. See [Turn generative AI off](docId\:X5U0kKD2azV5cIdNqwGNj). ::: ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/VX4DOJJbt-fesXk8eyYLm-20260720-145851.png) For text, there are several options:  - **Blog Post** – Enter a description in the **About** field, select whether the desired **Sentiment** is **Neutral**, **Positive**, or **Negative**, and determine if the **Tone** is **Formal** or **Informal**. You must include a **Word Limit**.  - **Title** – There is no word limit.

You can add more assets in the content workspace from **Add content** even after creating your article. ## Field inheritance When you add content to a task, the content inherits fields from the task by default and automatically reflects changes to the task fields on the content. However, if you do not want your content to inherit future changes made to task fields: 1. Go to **content** and click **More** (**...**) for the content you want to change.  2. Clear the **Inherit field changes from task** checkbox.  ![inherit.png](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/qHygqO5uP4Z8toem9Ricx-20260720-145851.png) See also [Fields and inheritance](docId:9HH-i6Ab5HgltfmXT888v). ## Select assets to push to the library ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/H2FXBvKLUsR9E3jFEyTSo-20260720-145851.png) After completing a workflow step, you can push assets from the task's **content** to the library by toggling on **Save to Library** for that step.

As the files are extracted to the Content Workspace, the contents of the folders are extracted, but the folders themselves are not extracted. The notification message says *'"Files successfully extracted."* :::
