Embed Content Hub Asset Pickers Anywhere with the New Embedding SDK
In This Article
Switching between systems to find and attach assets is a common friction point in modern content workflows. Whether you're building a custom app, a commerce experience, or an internal tool, accessing digital assets often means leaving your workflow behind.
The new Content Hub Embedding SDK changes that.
It allows developers to embed a Content Hub asset picker directly into external applications, so users can browse and select assets without ever leaving the interface they’re working in.
What is the Content Hub Embedding SDK?
The Embedding SDK is a developer-friendly toolkit that lets you integrate Content Hub functionality—specifically asset selection—into your own applications.
Instead of redirecting users to Content Hub, you can now bring Content Hub into your app.

Why This Matters
In many organizations, digital assets live in Content Hub, while content creation, commerce, or campaign tools live elsewhere. This separation often leads to:
- Interrupted workflows
- Repetitive navigation
- Slower content production
With the Embedding SDK, you eliminate these gaps by enabling in-context asset access.
