Import a Content Block

From Genesis Designer, you can automatically connect to a live exchange store that gives you access to an up-to-date library of Content Blocks. This Library Service is available for OneStream-hosted cloud environments. Enable Library Service to use this live exchange store. You do not need to download and import the Content Blocks. See Enable Library Service.

For self-hosted on-premises environments and for instances that have the Library Service turned off, follow these instructions to download and import Content Blocks from OneStream Solution Exchange.

There are security requirements to import Content Blocks. See Solution Administration.
