# Content management

On Synap there are **three** distinct types of content : 

1. **Uploaded content** - documents, presentations, images, audio clips, videos
2. **Authored content** - quizzes, notes, surveys 
3. **Embedded content** - iframes, html snippets, videos (streamed)

Whether you're using courses or collections content will need to be uploaded to the platform. Anything you upload to a course or collection will have a copy stored in the library where you can search and filter through items. 

For creating questions ahead of your exam go to our quizzes and exam guides below 

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MkhEIUEYIUZ6Os0k4wI" %}

{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/-Mkkpi9yHqkg5PiSX\_I7" %}
[Exams](/doc/exams/exams-vs-quizzes.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

### Uploading library content

Content can be uploaded directly into a course or collection, or it can be imported through the library. Use the main menu you navigate to the **library** page. Use the **Create or upload** button to select a content type. 

Uploading content formats: 

* Videos
* Documents / images
* Embed snippets (Presentations, iframes, etc)
* Zip files (for users to download) 
* SCORM files

For videos you can either upload them from your device or select a link from a streaming service. All content you upload will need to be saved. Use the **Details** option on the sub menu to rename the item and add in a short and long description (optional).

Remember no matter where you upload something, it will also go into the library which means you shouldn't need to upload the same thing twice.
