What to do next

(Optional) Translate your content.

Request language translation for your content. For more information, see Multilingual support in the Content Library.

Note: Only translate content after you are done modifying the content. For best results, we do not recommend that you add or remove components or change the formatting after translation.

To create rich content that is formatted differently in different languages, duplicate the content and modify the formatting as needed. Then, use Audiences to target the content to users by language. See Audiences
Preview your content from the Publish tab.

Note: Content Preview is designed to provide a general idea of how your content looks. Content may look different once published due to variations in device resolution, theme difference, or mobile app style configuration.
Configure a publish plan to control where the content is delivered, the audience, and the period of time it is available: Create a publish plan for your content.
