Search Options

The Optimizely experience editor provides many ways to search for content, pages, blocks and media assets. This should be your 1st step before creating new content, search to see if it already exists! Below you will find details about each of our search areas.

Note: As editors you have viewing and usage rights to everything (this includes pages, documents and media assets)  When using results from search, double check the breadcrumb trail of the selected item, this ensures the item origin. Clicking the options button displays the owner of the content.
