Upload V2 Overview

If you have any feedback or questions, then please get in touch.

How does it work?

1) Select the right Asset Type (if configured)

Note, many Asset Bank sites only have one type of asset - so the selection part is not required.

2) Upload your files

Drag and drop or browse to select.

3) Start entering common metadata straight away

You don't have to wait for all your files to upload to enter metadata that is common to the set, e.g. selecting a few common keywords and choosing the folder they should all go into.

4) Deal with any duplicates

Any duplicate files are highlighted immediately for review.

Note, if you are using perceptual hashing (visual matching) for duplicate detection, then the messaging here is different. It suggests that you review potential duplicates before choosing to discard any.

5) Select multiple assets to add more metadata

You can now select sets of assets and append more metadata to these. This as a completely new feature that should make it faster and more intuitive to tag files.

6) Step through individual assets to add any unique metadata

You can select a single asset to edit or you can click on a preview to enter 'zoom mode'. Here you can see more detail to help you tag the file. You can then progress sequentially via the previous and next controls (on the metadata panel or the file preview itself). Tip: moving through using previous and next also saves any changes to your metadata.

7) Submit your assets

Once your files have enough metadata (with mandatory fields complete) you will see a green thumbs up in the top right hand corner of the preview panels. Select your assets and click the submit button.
