Searching the LUNA Library

When your content is in the LUNA Library you can organize it into collections, edit data, zoom in on image details and more. But first you need to find the right content to organize! With this tutorial we'll show you how to perform keyword and advanced searches, save searches and more.

Building a Data Template

Every collection relies on a data schema to give it structure. To make collection building easy, you can create templates to base your data schema on. In this tutorial we walk you through the simple process of creating a data template from scratch.

Linking Records & Media Items

Collections consist of records and media items. A record can have one or several media items linked to it. Without records it's harder for your audience to search for a specific item, records also help provide valuable data on an item. Link away!

Customizing a Collection

Each collection in LUNA can be customized to best represent its content. In this tutorial we'll show you how you can brand each collection with a custom graphic, choose how data displays and more.
