3. Next, open the gallery and go to the content properties in the right corner of your screen.

There are nine tabs with properties to optimize your gallery–General, Media, Content footer, Tags, Related content, URLs, SEO, Lists, Custom data.

 


The General tab lets you select category(ies), author(s), status, distribution regions and channels, as well as additional properties for your gallery.

Under the Tags tab, you can optimize a gallery with a tag you have created, as well as football connections suggested by the system.

To optimize your gallery with tags:

  1. Expand the Tags tab.

2. In the Tags box, enter a tag(s) you have already created in the system.

3. To tag a gallery with football connections, go to the Football Connections box and select the recognized entity suggestions you want to tag your gallery with.

Note that you can tag your gallery with football connections either by adding all suggestions or only the ones you desire.

Once you enter football connections, the system will suggest relevant past/upcoming matches to connect to your gallery.

4. To add relevant matches, select either the Upcoming matches or Past matches tabs. Then click on the + sign to select a match.

For more information, see Content properties for specific content titles.

The Related content tab is directly connected to the football connections you use in the Tags tab and lets you select and include additional reading/watching to your post.

You can either add suggested videos, galleries, and articles to your post or search for related content.

To add related content to your post:

  1. Expand the Related content tab.

2. Under the Suggestions tab, select a content type you want to add as related content i.e. Articles, Videos, or Galleries.

3. Next, choose an article, video, or gallery and select the + sign to add it as related content.

4. If you want to manually find an article, video, or gallery to add, select the Search tab and enter the title of the content you are looking for.
