Overview
The bsn.Content Cloud allows you to create and manage your own content library. All content uploaded or created will be available to every player registered on a the bsn.Content Cloud network.
Accessing the Content Library
You can access the BrightSign Content Library either through the Manage Content section in the BrightAuthor:connected home page, or in the Content tab drop down menu (see Figure Image 1). If you do not have a paid BSNbsn.cloud subscription or Content Cloud subscription, these sections in the BrightAuthor:connected home page will be unavailable because they access cloud content, not local content.

BSN.Cloud Content vs. Local Content
As a BSNbsn.cloud Content subscriber, you can build a presentation from content you have uploaded to BSN.cloud, or from assets stored locally on your computer. However, remote and local assets can't be used in the same presentation. If you plan to work with locally stored assets, switch to Local Contentmode via the Local / BSN.cloud toggle switch at the top right. If you plan to host presentations and content remotely with your BSNbsn.cloud Content subscription, switch to BSN.cloud Contentmode.
If you added content or presentations to BrightSign in local Local mode, and want to use that content in the BSN.cloudwith your bsn.Content network, select the content or presentation and then select the upload Upload Presentation button, as shown in Figure Image 2, to make those assets available in the cloud.
