Add media assets from a content library
Content library assets are an organization's pre-approved post templates and images. Assets make it easy to publish content that's relevant and on-brand.
You need to be a team member with access to the team's content library to use the assets. Organizations can have many libraries and can share specific content with selected teams.
You can add media from a content library when creating a new post in Hootsuite or the mobile app.
