In the Navigation pane of the Contributor interface, you can click the Content Tree tab to see all the nodes it contains, including the Content Cloud node. The assets managed in Oracle Content and Experience are displayed under the Content Cloud node.

• If you're working on a site for which all assets from Oracle Content and Experience are synchronized, then those assets are displayed under the Content Cloud node by default.
• If asset synchronization is configured to occur on demand, then the selected assets are displayed under the Content Cloud node only after you've added them to your pages in Form View via Asset Picker. The Asset Picker is displayed only for an on-demand synchronization of content. You can also use the Asset Picker with the assets that are already synched under the Content Cloud node.

Custom Digital assets are categorized according to their types such as adiContentNW, adi_Content_Media_MV, adi_Content_Media_Reference and so on. Each of these types is represented by a separate folder named after the respective type. So Digital assets of type adi_Content_Media_MV are grouped under the folder adi_Content_Media_MV, and so on.
