Add Content to a View

To add content to any view in your workspace, follow these steps:

1. From the Catalyst account page, click the name of the CommonView workspace to which you want to add content.
2. On the menu on the left, click the view to which you want to add content. You will move to the selected view.
3. Click Add content (found immediately underneath the title of the view). The drop-down menu will open, displaying three options: Add rich text, Add file, or Add Catalyst tool.
   
   Choose Add rich text to add text, links, images, and tables to the view. On the next page, use the text editor to create and format your content.
   To add a YouTube video to your CommonView, choose to add rich text. On the next page, click the in the text editor. Copy the embed text and paste it into the "Embed" text box. Click OK to add the video to your workspace view.
   
   Choose Add file to upload a file from your computer. On the next page, locate and select the file from your local computer. You may also rename the file to appear as you like on your workspace by clicking Rename to the right of the file name. Note: File size is limited to 1 GB.
   
   Choose Add Catalyst tool to add a WebQ survey or quiz, a GoPost discussion board, a Collect It dropbox, or other item that you have created using the Catalyst Tools. On the next page, select a Catalyst tool from the menu of tools you have already created.
   
   
   Adding a Catalyst tool makes that tool item associated with that CommonView. This means that other CommonViews cannot add that tool item. For instance, if there is already a CommonView utilizing GoPost board "Biol 101," a second CommonView cannot add the same "Biol 101" GoPost board. If you want more than one CommonView to link to a certain Catalyst tool, you can choose Add rich text and create a link to the Catalyst tool.
   
   Choose Add link to add a link to the view. On the next page, you may enter the link address (URL), the link text, and a description of the place to which your link goes.
4. When adding content, you can select other views on which you want the content to appear. Click Select different views at the bottom of the page. The "Select Views" dialog box will appear.
5. Select the views on which you want the content to appear, and then click Save. The views dialog box will close, and you can finish adding the rich text, file, or Catalyst tool.
   Files and Catalyst Tools will appear on the view they were added to as well as the Files view or the Catalyst Tools view, respectively. For instance, if you upload a document to the Home view, it will appear on the Home view as well as the Files view.
6. Click Save when you are ready to add the content. If you would like to discard changes, click Cancel.
