Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://academy.synap.ac/doc/portal-settings/content-management.md). # Content management A look at the different types of content on Synap and how to use the library 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" %} [Quizzes](/doc/quizzes/creating-a-quiz.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/-Mkkpi9yHqkg5PiSX\_I7" %} [Exams](/doc/exams/exams-vs-quizzes.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ![The library page ](https://3316915154-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MkgvUeCmTPeNouRxGPC%2Fuploads%2FUrBkpS3GUhocHzG9uAuz%2FScreenshot%202022-01-19%20at%2013.13.08.png?alt=media\&token=3d0b13ed-3f83-4f96-bdd4-15ed98f79d4d) ### 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). ![Uploading an image in documents](https://3316915154-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MkgvUeCmTPeNouRxGPC%2Fuploads%2FQsYGKm5kYna26IJ4ydSz%2F_Unnamed_%20_.gif?alt=media\&token=9331d99f-b2a2-4f99-8acb-96f499501b17) 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. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://academy.synap.ac/doc/portal-settings/content-management.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
