Manage content with Content view

The content tree in the Edit view and in the Assets panel shows Optimizely Content Management System (SaaS) content that is organized in a hierarchical structure. As the number of content in CMS grows, finding content can become more of an issue unless you are familiar with the hierarchy.

The CMS Content view addresses these scaling issues by displaying all content (pages, assets, and media) in a "flat" view table structure that you can filter, search, and sort to get to the content you want.
