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!

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!

jordans17317991,

You can create either HTML or Image offer. There is some documentation on this here: https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/target/target/c_manage_content.html If you run into any technical issue with Adobe Target and you are a supported user you can open a ticket by emailing us at ttclientcare@adobe.com however in this case this does not appear to be a product bug just an issue where you were given two jpegs to create an activity when a combination of images and code might have been most appropriate.

Unfortunately content editing and activity creation is not something we are able to do on your behalf. With that said I'll do my best to give you some guidance here. In this case it appears you have been provided with some static images for an idea of what they want the Control and Variation to look like.

Some points to make:

1. The two banner images seem to be different sizes. This is definitely not idea.

2. It would probably be a good idea to request the banner images on their own and make sure they are the same exact size. (Not sure if they are expecting you to do the editing to accomplish this or what?)

3. Additionally you could request that they provide you the code for the text content underneath the image that way you can save that as HTML Offer3 and add it below either image offer. (Once again not sure if this is something they can provide you with or if they expect that you will be able to create the code based on the image they have provided.)

With that said the above is the proper way to do this. The very quick and not ideal way to do this woudl be to copy/paste image1 and paste it on top of image2 in an image processor. Save that file as image Offer2.

Hope this helps you out!

Thanks, Mihnea. I appreciate the quick feedback and help. The client should be giving me final approved assets and mocks within the next few days. I should have set the expectation up front that HTML code would have been ideal vs them just sending over static .jpeg images. My client does not have an Adobe Target rep, but they do have an AEM rep. So, not sure if that is helpful. They are wanting me to create three tests total for both desktop/tablet and mobile. One will be an A/B test and two will be a X/T test. For now we can go back and forth with questions in this forum if you do not mind? Below are the three test variations if you wanted to look over when you have time and provide further feedback. Thank you for the assistance.
