# Content Creation and Publication

When content is published in Adaptiva, a package is created in Adaptiva and the source files are gathered directly from the ConfigMgr Content Library or the specified content source location for Adaptiva or Intune content.

The package is compressed, optionally encrypted, and is stored on the Adaptiva server in the `\<AdaptivaServerInstallPath>\data\ContentLibrary` folder by default.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Content Library can be moved by following the instructions in this [How-To article](https://support.adaptiva.com/hc/en-us/articles/203736410-How-To-Change-the-location-of-the-content-library-).
{% endhint %}

The content can also be stored in the cloud and accessed by either Adaptiva clients in the Central Office to distribute to on-premises clients or directly by Adaptiva clients that are on the internet. Whenever published content is referenced in an Advertisement/Deployment, it will be distributed using Adaptiva OneSite instead of ConfigMgr, Intune, or Workspace ONE.

If you are updating existing content to publish to the Cloud Store be sure to update the Content Publication Settings for each content type and priority first.

{% hint style="info" %}
Content cannot be published to the cloud using the workbench without first unpublishing that content. When content is unpublished it will be removed from all computers. This may not be desirable. Use the Adaptiva Web Portal and the Update Publication Action to update the content into the cloud based on the Content Publication Settings defined.
{% endhint %}

Please see the following pages for each content type:

* [ConfigMgr Content](/anywhere/content-creation-publication/content-creation-publication-configmgr.md)
* [Intune Content](/anywhere/content-creation-publication/content-creation-publication-intune.md)
* [Workspace ONE Content](/anywhere/content-creation-publication/content-creation-publication-workspaceone.md)
* [Adaptiva Content](/anywhere/content-creation-publication/content-creation-publication-adaptiva.md)
