Adding a banner with text in a X/T test

I am trying to add a Banner or a box with some text and color across the header of one of my experiences, basically the variation of the activity. I cannot see a way to do this when selecting the container of the page to add or replace with. Am I able to do this without having Adobe Scene 7 integrated? Keep in mind I am not swapping out an image, only adding a banner to the top of the page with new text and color to go with it. Any help would be great.

    Here is how I would get this done:

    1. Left click on the element.

    2. Click on "Expand Selection" to get to the element you want to edit (Sometimes you will have to do this a few times) (See attached screenshot below.)

    3. Once you have the element selected use the option under: Edit > Text/HTML to adjust text or change the actual HTML of the page to insert the new banner text etc. (See attached screenshot below)

    Hope this helps!

    Expand Selection:

    Edit Text/HTML:

      Hey Mike,

      This is very helpful. My client also has strict guidelines with font and brand color. What would be the easiest steps to select/upload these into Target vs what Adobe provides? Please see what the experiences for this test I am trying to create look like below and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

        The idea behind the Experience Composer is that it's an easy visual way to modify the existing content (Default Experience) to something new. If the banner were already there in a different color you could edit the banner however since it does not yet exits it will have to first be created. There is no UI functionality to allow you to insert and drag a banner. The two options to getting it in there woudl be to add it as html code or design it as an image and add the image. I did some looking around and found some sample HTML for banner code. It woudl need to be customized but it's a start: https://support.litmos.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001428953-Sample-HTML-Banner-code

        Hope this helps!

        That makes sense.  I was not aware as this is the first experience creating something new like this that is not in the original default experience. Currently, my client has Adobe Scene 7 integrated with Adobe Target. However, once I have final images/assets do I need to upload them into the content library in Target and they will be able to select once I am editing my experience? What is the best action to take for this?

        Thanks,

        Jordan
