How to use Discover Content in the Asset Library to find and save UGC
Navigate to Engage, Asset Library. Here you will find a new Discover Content section in the top right-hand corner.
NOTE: Discover Content is powered by Explore and requires both an Explore license and a saved search to work.
2. Select a search from the list of saved Explore searches.
3. The Discover Content page will load with content cards related to the selected search.
UGC cards are sorted by engagement total, in descending order.
UGC on the Discover Content page includes the following sources:
Social - Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Pinterest, Tiktok, Twitter, and Youtube
Editorial
Blogs
4. Use the Add to Library button on a UGC card to save that piece of content to the Asset Library.
5. Give your saved content a name, select a folder and click Add to library.
Multi-image posts will be saved as individual asset library items.
I.E.: a Facebook post with two images named Dog will return as two items in the asset library - Dog (1) and Dog (2)
How to Access User Generated Content (UGC) in the Asset Library
Once saved in the asset library, UGC content can be viewed in either the list view, gallery view, or the user content details view.
In the list view, the Type column will say User Content.
In both the gallery view and the user content details view, the images will have a User Content tile placed on them.
Once you select or click into a saved UGC you can view the User Content Details View as shown below

How to use UGC Content in Publish
Now that you have saved User Generated Content within the Asset Library you can use the content within Engage's Publish.
Navigate to Engage, Publish, Create Post.
2. To select UGC content with images, use the image icon in the media tray. For videos or gifs, use the corresponding inputs.
3. Select Asset library source in the media attachment selector.
When a UGC item is selected, both the media and post copy will be brought into the composer and media tray.
If more than one UGC item is chosen, the last added post copy will be used.
4. Upload the UGC. Media and text can be customized as needed, including swapping the original author name for an actual @mention tag, if known.
