After a publisher exports content to Content Hub, it is available for import to subscriber sites. Manual syndication provides flexibility for publishers and subscribers to directly control the content imported to a site. After a subscriber imports an entity and its dependencies, either manually or automatically through filters, the entity remains in the subscriber’s interest list. Consequently, any subsequent updates made to the entity by the publisher are automatically syndicated to the subscriber. Manual syndication is always available, and can function in conjunction with [automatic syndication with filters.](/drupal-starter-kits/add-ons/content-hub/automatic-syndication-filters "Automatic syndication with filters")

Searching for content
---------------------

Note

Ensure that the `acquia_contenthub_dashboard` module is enabled. Either publishers or subscribers can enable this module. However, while subscribers can only use this Dashboard to import content for themselves, publishers have the ability to import content to any subscriber.

The following are the steps to search content:

1.  Navigate to the Publisher’s Dashboard interface.
2.  Click on **Content**.
    
    The Content page displays all content that the publisher has exported to Content Hub. The page also provides options to filter and search content.
    

By default, the content is displayed in List View. If you prefer to switch to Card View, locate and click the **Card View** icon in the top right corner of the page.

To switch back to List View display, click the **List View** icon.
