Step 10 of 26

Public links

The finish line for Module 1: get a public link for your hero image so it's ready to drop into your landing page.

1. Check the public links generated automatically

This environment is configured to create a public link automatically when an asset is approved (using an action + trigger). So your approved hero image should already have a link waiting.

  1. On the menu bar, click Assets and open your hero image.
  2. Click More actions → Public links.
  3. Review the link(s) already generated automatically for the default renditions.

Note

Automatic public-link creation is set up at the environment level (a script that runs on approval). A public link can only exist for a rendition that has already been generated.

2. Create a custom public link

Need a specific size or format? Create your own:

  1. In the Public links dialog, click + Public link.
  2. Set the options:
    • Rendition — which rendition to expose.
    • Crop — Don't crop, Crop to center, Smart crop, or Manual crop.
    • Dimensions — Don't resize, custom width/height, or a preset.
    • URL path — auto-generated, or type your own (e.g. hero-cropped).
    • Link expiration — leave blank to never expire.
  3. Click Save, then copy the link.

A Content Hub public link looks like this — anyone with the URL can fetch it, no login:

Prompt
https://your-host.sitecoresandbox.cloud/api/public/content/?v=

Tip

Recognise that format? It's exactly how the workshop's own demo videos are served — /api/public/content/…?v=…. A public link is just an unsigned URL to a rendition.

Module 1 complete — nice work! 🎉

You built your campaign's asset set end to end: uploaded, AI-enriched, reviewed, collaborated, fixed the rework, took the campaign Active, searched, and produced public links. Keep your links handy — the next module turns them into your product landing page.
