Overview
This article provides a complete walkthrough of the redesigned System Settings area in PXM. The updated layout consolidates related settings, reduces the number of clicks required, and organizes tools more intuitively. Below is a breakdown of each section, what has changed, and where previously located features can now be found.
Navigating to System Settings
To access the settings, use the left-hand sidebar and click on Settings.
Within the Settings area, you’ll notice:
Main settings tabs appear at the top of the screen.
Subtabs appear beneath each main tab for more detailed configuration.
Systems Tab
General
The General subtab contains your core system settings, including:
Themes
Sorting layout
Metadata display settings
These function similarly to the previous settings layout.
Featured
This section is used to create and manage Featured Folders, which appear on the PXM home page.
Note: Featured Folders were previously located under Regionalization, but have now been moved under System → Featured.
Access
The Access subtab includes two quick links:
User Management – where you create and manage user accounts
Org Units – previously known as Regions, renamed to better reflect how partners use them
Clicking either link will open the relevant admin page for managing users or org units.
Brands
This tab may or may not appear in your environment.
If enabled, Brands is used when working with Content Briefs, allowing you to define:
Brand standards
Brand colors
Fonts
Website URLs
Additional brand guidelines
Integrations Tab
The Integrations tab keeps the same name and function as before.
Here you can:
Create API authorizations
Generate your Client ID and Client Secret
Use these credentials to push or pull data into/from PXM via API
Attributes Tab
This layout is similar to previous versions:
All attributes appear under the first subtab All
You can manage attribute groups (now labeled Groups) in the Groups subtab
Use this area to edit, organize, or create attributes and groups
Assets Tab
The Assets tab is new and consolidates all image- and media-related settings.
It contains:
Image Conversion
Where administrators create and manage asset conversion settings.
Media Stack Groups
Now the designated location for setting up and organizing media stack groups.
This update brings previously separate tools into a single unified section.
Marketplaces Tab
The Marketplaces tab is also new and includes:
All channels configured for downloading

Any active syndication channels, if enabled for your instance
Important change:
Templates are no longer found under Channels.
To access your templates, navigate to:
Left Sidebar → Syndicate → Templates

This tab may not appear for all users.
The Compliance section ensures that syndicated content meets specific regulatory requirements. More detailed guidance is provided in separate compliance materials.
Exports Tab
The Exports section has been consolidated to include:
PDF Sheet
Line List (multiple-PDF export)
Custom Export (formerly Export Mapping)
All export-related tools now live in a single unified tab for easier access.
Reports (Moved Out of Settings)
The Reports section is no longer within Settings.
From the left sidebar, click Reports to access:

Share Log
You can view details for each directly from this page.
Uploads and Imports
The Upload/Import button is now available on the Home Page, making it easier and faster to:
Upload product data

Bring new product information into PXM
These actions no longer reside within the Settings area.
