Add Organizations and Items
Now we need to add some content. For our simple content package we have all our content stored in one place, but we need to Import the Resources into our resource pool.

Import Content
To create our content package, we must first import some content.

Your workspace should resemble that shown below.

Create an Organisation
A content package consists of one or more organisations of content. By default the CP we create has no organisations, so we have to add one.

Your workspace should resemble that shown below.

Add Items (Content)
Finally, we can add some content to our content package. Basically, we create the structure for our content package by adding Items to an Organization. Adding Items to the organisation can be carried out using menus (Edit, Add Item, or right-click, Add Item) but it is far easier to just 'drag and drop' content from the tree pane to the manifest pane.

Drag and Drop
Moving content around between the three panes and within panes is easy if you use drag and drop. You can easily:
  • drag and drop Files or Folders from the resources pane to become Resources in the manifest pane
  • drag and drop Files or Folders from the resources pane to become Items in the manifest pane
  • drag and drop Folders from the resources pane to become Organizations in the manifest pane
  • drag and drop Resources in the manifest pane to become Items in the manifest pane
  • drag and drop from the Desktop to a folder in the resources pane
  • Once you have finished adding content, your workspace should resemble that shown below.
