3. Accept or change the language.
   Show me.

   

4. Click Add Items (). The Add Items to Collection screen appears.

   Alternatively, hover the cursor over the collection in the left panel, right click the mouse, and click Add Items.

   Show me.

   

   Note: If your collection includes subfolders and you want to add the content to one of them, navigate to that subfolder. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

5. Click Add Content ().The Add Content screen appears.
   Show me.

   If you are using Ektron CMS400.NET’s multi-language support, the content’s language appears next to the title. The language is derived from the collection’s language and cannot be changed.

   

6. Create the content. (Refer to Adding HTML Content for additional information about creating new content.)
7. Click a workflow option in the Add Content screen. The Add Content screen closes, and the new content link appears in the list of links available to the collection.
