How to prepare your content for upload
For Content Items
-
HTML article: a plain .html file or a zipped folder containing all assets (images, CSS, etc.) with an
index.html
file at the root. -
Twixl InDesign articles: you can either add individual
.article
InDesign exports, or you can import a complete.publication
(after the upload the publication will be split into different content items for each of the articles). Before uploading to the platform, make sure to zip your .article or .publication file. -
PDF file: for best practices when uploading
.pdf
files, please check this article. -
Image: Images are accepted in
.jpg
or.png
format -
Movie: You can upload H.264 encoded
.mp4
movies - make sure your files are encoded at a quality optimized for mobile devices, so that these are not unnecessarily too big and preferably not larger than 1080 pixels wide. Also make sure that the bitrate of your video is not too high, as these might result in error when rendering these on some lower-end devices. - YouTube movie: Make sure the movie on YouTube is public and copy the YouTube video ID or the URL.
- Vimeo movie: Make sure the movie on Vimeo is public and copy the Vimeo video ID or the URL.
- Collection Link: create a link to an existing collection
- Content Item Alias: links to the same content item from different locations, even with different Item Styles
- Web link: links to a web page - limited to 255 characters. If you have web links that are longer, you can create a short url with e.g. Tiny URL or Bitly.
For Browse Grid Items
- Inline Web Viewer: the URL of the content that you want to display inline
- Embedded Web Viewer: will display uploaded web content in line. The web content should be uploaded as a zipped file in the same way as an HTML article (see above), but the .oam file format (Adobe Animate, Tumult Hype) is also supported.
-
Placeholder: a non-interactive Content Item to show text and/or an image, mainly used for a visual - images are accepted in
