Ensure better governance in Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) by creating templates of fields for Library assets based on content types or user teams. This prevents users from guessing and searching for applicable fields. For example, if you upload a video to the Library, you can choose what fields to apply based on your video asset template.

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**

You must be an Administrator to create or edit field groups.
