**a. Hierarchy symbol: **This is the layout you're adding content for.

**b. Show inherited: **Tick this checkbox to access content created above your admin level. 

**c. Visibility (eye) symbol:** Indicates the item won't be visible in the app to you because you're previewing the app as a user who doesn't match the item's availability. To see it, in the **View** window, below the app preview, enter a user’s name to whom it's been made available. 

**d. Time symbol: **Indicates the item won't be visible in the app because the item is scheduled to appear at a future date or has already expired.

**e. Global symbol: **Signifies the item comes from a higher admin level or is global content, so it’s managed outside your current admin access but is still available across different levels.

**f.** **Create:** Select this button to create content on the fly. In the dialog that appears, choose one:

- **Continue: **This keeps the visibility the same as your main piece. 
- **Change visibility: **This lets you re-assign your main piece to a different group, team, or user tag.
