The Content Cloud tab (or Content Repository for our on-premise customers) is used for manually pulling content and media elements into your site. This is typically used to share optional content between multiple Drupal sites. Pulling content manually has several advantages, depending on your exact use case:
- Make content optional: Choose what content you need per site rather than pulling everything.
- Example: A news article may be relevant to some of your sites, but not all of them; allow the editors of each site to choose what they want to use on their specific site.
- Value: No data duplication, but still with fine-grained control.
- Build up a central content repository: Retain the value you are creating when writing content so you don't have to rewrite the same content all over again.
- Example: Editors from different sites work in a silo and create identical or very similar content. Instead, let them share what they've successfully launched and allow editors of other sites to re-use it; optionally making additional local adjustments.
- Value: Continuously grow the value of your multi-site online presence.

The pull behaviour is not influenced by how you push content. You can manually pull content whether it's been pushed automatically or manually- any combination is possible. |
Access
Once it is active it can be found on the new Tab Content Cloud (or Content Repository for our on-premise customers) on the content overview page in the administration area of your site.
