Hints & Tips

Open Content Catalog (v365)
Here's our top new keyboard shortcut, you will find this one useful! Ctrl + Alt + Shift + K opens the Online Content Catalog in the new v 365.

And on the subject of the new Content Catalog don't miss the great new Search feature. It's now a snip to find exactly the template you require, you no longer have to browse thru all the folders!

You'll find Search at the top of the Content Catalog, note you should select All if you want to search the entire Catalog, but you can also select a particular folder to limit the search to that folder.
