What is a Content Pack?

Content packs are saved, shareable bundles of Giraffe content — layers, flows, blocks, usages, and more — stored in the Content Library.

Package the work your team repeats on every deal, like a standard usage set, a massing flow, or a feasibility layout, so anyone can add it to a project in one click. A content pack, or pack, is a saved, shareable bundle of Giraffe content stored in the Content Library. Packs belong to a workspace and can be shared with people, teams, or made public.

Most of what you find on the Workspace and Marketplace tabs of the Content Library comes as content packs. Your team's standard usages, flows, and layouts reach you as workspace packs. Giraffe's ready-made content reaches you as Marketplace packs.

A pack's category sets what it can hold. The Content Pack Categories article lists each category and its contents. The Create a Content Pack article covers every field a pack has.

Pack listings

Packs show as listings on the Workspace and Marketplace tabs and in My Content. Each listing shows the pack's thumbnail, name, and tags. Click a tag to show only packs with that tag.

A listing shows Get for packs you can use and Edit for packs you can edit.

Click a listing to open the pack's details. On the Workspace and Marketplace tabs, the details open over the library. In My Content, they open in place, and a breadcrumb takes you back.

A pack's detail view

The top of the detail view shows the pack's thumbnail, name, ID, and category. A Public badge shows when the pack is public. Click the star to add the pack to your Favorites.

Click Import All to add everything in the pack to your project.

The Contents tab previews what's in the pack. The Metadata tab shows the category, the created and last changed dates, the creator, the units, and the tags. It also shows a demo video link and a creator website link when the pack has them.

Pack editors see a ••• menu with Edit Contents. Pack admins also see Share and Delete.

Work with content packs

Add a pack's content to your project with Add Content to a Project. On Team and Enterprise plans, you can also Create a Content Pack, Edit a Content Pack, Share a Content Pack, and Delete a Content Pack.

Workspace admins can also manage every content pack shared into the workspace from Home.
