  • Activate opens the activation step for the entry’s content, the same as step 4 of the experience wizard.
  • Preview opens a wizard: choose a template that matches the entry’s fields, check and change the content in the preview, then use Update In Contentful to save the change to the entry. The arrow menu also offers Create Experience, Activate and Activate & Create Experience.

Update In Contentful changes the entry in Contentful, and Activate sends the content to a live destination such as Adobe Target.

GitHub entries #

Go to Experiences → GitHub Entries. It lists the files in the repository of your default GitHub integration: File Path, Size, Last Updated By and Last Updated At. The list is empty until a GitHub integration is set up and synced (see Connect and sync a GitHub repository).
