Content Organization
The content library houses all your content in Heretto CCMS.
File Locks
By default, Heretto CCMS uses collaborative locks.
Collaborative Locks
When a Heretto CCMS user opens a file, a collaborative lock is applied so that other users can also work in the file.
When collaborators are working in a file, a collaboration icon in the file listing indicates that the file is locked by collaborators.
The collaborative lock prevents certain system-level automated actions on the file until all users have stopped working in the file. When the collaborative lock is released, Heretto CCMS records a revision in the file history.
Non-Collaborative Locks
When you open files using an editor other than Heretto CCMS, a lock icon in the file listing indicates that the file is locked non-collaboratively. Hovering over the icon shows who the file is locked by. Only the user of the external editor can work in the file. When the external editor releases the lock, the lock icon is removed.
When a file is locked, a lock icon shows in the file listing to indicate that the file is locked.

Upload Files to the Content Library
You can upload images and other allowed file types to the content library.
- If you want to upload a large number of files, compress these files to a ZIP archive.Tip: Uploading files compressed to a single ZIP archive is quicker than uploading multiple files without compressing them first.
By default, when you upload a ZIP archive to the content library, Heretto CCMS unzips the archive retaining its folder structure. If needed, you can also upload a ZIP archive to the content library without unzipping it.
Uploaded files must be under 100MB in size.
