You can edit an asset directly in your Asset Bank without re-uploading it. Using Batch Edit, you can save time if you make the same change to multiple assets.
Single Edit
- Navigate to your Asset Bank
- Select the asset you would like to edit.
- In the Info Tab, click.
- You can also use one of these shortcuts to skip directly to the edit window.
- You can edit the asset's name/ title, description, metaproperties, tags, related assets, copyright, advanced rights, custom fields, and collections here.
- Metaproperties not configured as main filters are available under the Custom Fields section.
- Once edits are complete, click Save.
Batch Edit
If you are making the same change to multiple assets, we recommend Batch Edit. You can also apply filters or use the search bar to narrow your asset results. For example, if all assets need to be tagged with the same tag(s), you can add the tag, which will be applied to all selected assets.
You can batch edit up to 1500 assets at the same time. If batch editing exceeds 1500, we recommend using the API.
- Navigate to your Asset Bank
-
Select the assets you want to edit, and either select
or select the E key on your keyboard.
- The batch editing screen will open, where you can see your assets' thumbnails.
- You can see the thumbnails of up to 20 assets.
- Contact Support to increase the number of thumbnails to 50.
- Not all available fields will appear under the thumbnail; if you want a field to appear under the thumbnail, select next to the Metaproperty.
- By default, all assets are selected; however, you can deselect the assets if you do not want to apply the change to an asset by selecting
next to the asset.
- You must select 20 or fewer assets to see the thumbnail of each asset when bulk editing. More than 20 will look like this:
- In the sidebar, you can edit the title, description, metaproperties, tags, related assets, copyright, and advanced rights and add assets to collections.
- All of the changes applied in the sidebar will be applied to all of the assets selected.
- Metaproperties not configured as main filters are available under the Custom Fields section.
- Even if all assets in a batch have the same metaproperties, you must manually reselect the Metaproperty Options when bulk editing to activate dependencies. The bulk editor does not automatically display dependencies, by default it displays all available metaproperties as it does not assume all assets have the same Metaproperty Options selected.
- You can edit an asset by selecting the corresponding option beneath the asset's thumbnail. Changes made under the thumbnail will only affect that specific asset.
- Once you have made the edits, click Save Selected Files.
