3. Configure the Asset Publisher portlet: Select "Asset Selection" "manual". in "Asset Entries" select "Web Content Article" and select "Test Web Content".
4. Save configuration.
5. Notice that the selected "Test Web Content" is in the list.
6. In the control panel drag and drop "Test Web Content" to trash.
