Find your content items
The simplest way to search for content items is to search for them by phrase. The search looks into the names of content items as well as their body.If you don’t know exactly what’s in the content item you’re looking for, you can use filtering by content items’ attributes. The attributes you can filter by are current workflow step, item’s content type, or assigned contributor. There may be other options based on how your managers set up your project’s content model.In this video, you’ll learn about the different ways of searching for a specific content item in the content list.
