Configuring catalogs

When a catalog is in edit mode, you can customize its appearance, available settings, and layout, update its presentations as needed, assign keywords to simplify its URL, and view analytics for it. If your catalog is a custom one, you can also add content to it as well as secure it and its folders.

Only users with appropriate permissions can configure catalogs. For more information, contact your Mediasite administrator.
