Updating Assets

For a complete guide to updates, see Asset Library.

Assuming you have the appropriate permissions for an account you may be able to make changes to assets in the system. There are two different ways that assets can be updated in the system.

• Individual Asset Management
• Bulk Asset Management

Individual Updates

Use the edit button to enter into edit mode for an asset.

To update an individual asset start by navigating to the asset you wish to update and then click the edit button to enter edit panel for that asset. From this panel you should be able to change all properties.

Updating Asset Properties

Editing a particular image asset.

Updating asset metadata is fairly straight forward. Once in the edit panel you can update information about an asset. This information current includes:

• name
• description
• tags

There may also be additional fields available as part of an extension. For example the Mobile Briefcase Collection Extensions fields include:

• share
• edit
• print

Updating an Asset Style

Changing the thumbnail of an alternative style

Updating the style of certain assets allows an admin to either replace the original file of an asset or one of its alternative versions. This can be done through the edit form for an individual asset.

1. Navigate to the edit form of the asset you wish to change
2. Click the change link for the asset style to change
3. Select a new file to change
4. Click "Go" to upload the new file

The regenerate image sizes button will allow the regeneration of alternative asset styles from the original

Sometimes it makes sense to entirely replace an asset with another of the same type. Rather the adding another asset to the system and fixing all links user have the ability to regenerate a changed asset. To fully change an asset:

1. Navigate to the edit form of the asset to regenerate
2. Change the original file by uploading a new original version
3. Click the regenerate button
4. Accept the warning

Notes on changing Assets

• Assets can only replaced with an asset of the same type. For jpg images this means it must be replaced with an image of the same format.
