**Note**
You must use Opti ID to embed Optimizely Digital Asset Management (DAM) in Optimizely Content Management System (CMS 13).
:::
To provide your CMS 13 instance with Optimizely Graph service capabilities, complete the following steps:
1. Go to **DXP Management Portal** and select your organization and project (for example, `CMSUI / cmsasdf`) and click the **API** tab.
2. Go to the **Content Graph Service Configurations** section and click **Enable Graph Service**.
3. Confirm by clicking **OK** in the **Enable Graph Service** window.
The portal displays a status message indicating the service is being enabled.
4. Click the **API** tab and return to the **Content Graph Service Configurations** section to verify the configuration.
5. Configure CMS to use the **App key** (`ClientID`) and **Secret** (`ClientSecret`). In `appsettings.json`, add the configuration for the CMP API Client app and/or DAM Library Picker endpoint:
```json
{
"Optimizely": {
"Cms": {
"DamUI": {
"Endpoint": "https://cmp.optimizely.com"
}
},
"Cmp": {
"Client": {
"TokenUrl": "https://accounts.cmp.optimizely.com/o/oauth2/v1/token",
"ApiUrl": "https://api.cmp.optimizely.com/v3/",
"ClientId": "",
"ClientSecret": "",
"UseHmacAuthentication": false
}
}
}
}
```
6. Register services in `Startup.cs` by adding this line:
```csharp
services.AddDamUI();
```
7. In `.\Views_ViewImports.cshtml`, also add this line to enable DAM TagHelpers. See [Render properties with tag helpers](https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/docs/rendering-properties-with-tag-helpers) for information about streamlining the rendering of DAM assets in Razor views. Developers can render `![]()
