Add Highspot content to your Aligned Room so buyers can view your sales assets without leaving the Room. Paste the Highspot link into a section that supports embedded content, give it a title, and save it. Use Large when the content is a primary asset, Carousel when it sits with other buyer-facing content, or Links & Examples when it is one item in a broader resource list. Aligned also lets you save the embedded content to the Library while you add it, so you can reuse it later in other Rooms.

Troubleshooting & Error States
Q: "This link requires authentication or identification"
Q: "This link requires authentication or identification"

Q: The thumbnail shows a logo instead of a preview.
Q: The thumbnail shows a logo instead of a preview.
Answer: Aligned couldn't fetch the thumbnail from your link, so it's showing the Highspot logo as a placeholder. The link still works for buyers. If you want a custom thumbnail, click Edit and upload an image.

Pro-Tips
Put key Highspot assets near the top of the Room to guide buyers through your pitch.
Save frequently used Highspot content to the Library so you don't paste the same link into every Room.
Update thumbnails to keep your Room visually fresh if content changes in Highspot.
Test your Highspot links before sending the Room to buyers to ensure sharing settings are correct.
