EDIT AN ASSET

From the Edit Asset page (Fig. 5), you can modify the following:

  • Title: In the Title field, you can modify a title of the asset. This title is separate from the filename of the asset, which will not change. Choose a brief but descriptive title to help users easily find the document. Click the Save Title button.
  • Asset Description: In the Asset Description field, you can modify the description of the asset. This description will be displayed when the asset is viewed, including the public view if Public Access is enabled.
  • User Groups: In the User Groups section, modify the group(s) that have access to your asset and click the Save User Groups button.
  • Categories: In the Categories section, modify the category or categories as needed and click the Save Categories button.
  • Tags: In the Tags section, modify tags as needed. These are one-word identifiers that allow for more advanced filtering of assets. You can add tags by typing the name of the tag, then clicking the Add Tags button. Multiple tags can be added at once by separating the tags with a comma. Example: tag1, tag2, tag3.

To view the file change history, click the Show File change History button. 

To change Public Access settings, click the Manage Public Access button at the top-right corner of the page. For more information on public access, visit the Creating DAM Public Access Links article.

Once changes are complete, click the Save button and the Close Editor button.
