Collateral Programs are not available in all solutions. For more information, contact your supplier point of contact.
As a supplier, you provide content to your partners to build, mix, and promote business engagement and conversation. Collateral Programs are intended to support and facilitate the promotion of a company, product, or service. File downloads, campaign resources and static library resources can be packaged into a Collateral Program.
Collateral Program content is used by your partners and is found under the Content tab in ZiftMarcom. Partners can preview, download, and customize content available in Zift123 under Collateral. All content may not be available to all partners. Suppliers determine what content is available to partners when creating content. Not all content is available for preview or customization.

- Publish: If you are confident that the copy and all content is correct, publish the Collateral Program. Content in the program does not need to be published to be in the program.
