Assets
In ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Journey Optimizer B2B Edition, assets are typically the images used in creating your journey content. You can use these images within the emails, email templates, and fragments authored in Journey Optimizer B2B Edition through an asset selector or a simple drag-and-drop interface within the visual content editor.
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Journey Optimizer B2B Edition offers marketers access to two types of assets libraries: ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Marketo Engage Design Studio and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager Assets as a Cloud Service. You may use only the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Marketo Engage Design Studio, or use both libraries configured at the same time (based on the AEM Assets license that you have).
Asset management
If you are provisioned with a Marketo Engage account and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager as a Cloud Services, you have access to the repositories for both Marketo Engage DAM and ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager Assets as a Cloud Service when your user account has the required permissions. These repositories are separate and not in sync. You can use images from either source, but only one can be enabled in the content editor at a time. An administrator can make the switch from the Marketo Engage DAM to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Manager Assets as a Cloud Service. The Assets item in the left navigation displays the repository that is currently set.
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Marketo Engage assets
The ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Marketo Engage Design Studio assets repository is provided by default with every Journey Optimizer B2B Edition subscription. This means that you have access to any of the image assets stored in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Marketo Engage > Design Studio > Images & Files. You can use this repository as your local assets library, including upload and download assets functions. You can also use these assets within your journey content.
There are built-in guardrails that prevent edits to the Marketo Engage assets from Journey Optimizer B2B Edition, and delete and move operations. These protections ensure that the source assets (Marketo Engage Design Studio) are maintained while allowing seamless read and reuse in Journey Optimizer B2B Edition.
