Browsing the repository with Authoring Bridge

You can browse through the contents of the Content Manager repository. From the repository you can view metadata information, preview the contents of objects, check out, create, or delete objects, search the repository, and access your inbox.

Procedure

  1. In your XML authoring tool, select Tridion Docs > Browse Repository.
    The Browse Repository window opens.
  2. In the Repository pane, select the folder that contains the object that you want to view.
    The contents of the folder are displayed in the right pane.
    • Some of an object's metadata is visible in the right pane.
    • To view the properties of an object, right-click on the object in the right pane then select Properties.
    • To preview the contents of a map, topic, or graphic, select the object in the right pane, then select the preview button . This is a toggle, so selecting it toggles the preview window display on and off. There is no preview for publication objects or PDF binary objects.
    • If you are looking at the contents of the Favorites node, to go to the repository location of an object, select that object and select Locate in the Repository from the context menu.
