User Access Request (UAR) Improvements
During this cycle we worked on improving the UI of our UAR admin page by fixing some old flows and by adding some new functionality. We also worked on providing the Admins with more customization options for the UAR forms. With these improvements, the admins will be able to collect more information about their users before approval.
Enhanced User Data CSV Export
Say goodbye to data collection struggles! Our new feature allows DAM admins to download user data in a more organized format with additional details, including date created, deactivation date, SSO status, and more.

The Uploads area of Studio can be used to store, find and manage personal assets that users would like to use in their designs without cluttering the Asset Bank. We’ve updated the look & feel and navigation for an overall smoother experience and allowed for Sketch and PSD files to be imported to Studio directly from the Uploads area.
Direct PSD & Sketch Files Import from Personal Uploads
For designers who don’t want their source design files to be available in the DAM when they want to use them in Studio, either because they should not be available to a wider user base or because the upload process would require them to go through the waiting room first, they can now upload their PSD and Sketch files directly through the Uploads area. This enables them to work more independently and efficiently on creating new designs.
Learn more about importing Photoshop and Sketch files
Improvements to Design Publish Flow
The publishing of design updates when designs have variations has been made more intuitive for designers and more efficient for all users involved:
- Designers' modifications to the original design elements will automatically update the existing variations after publishing.
- If any of the users had overridden the default variation data before the changes, they will have the option to revert it back to the default values.

Date Range Filter and Data Export to CSV
With Delivery Metrics, you get insights about what happens with your assets outside the DAM. This is great, but now you can also easily filter reports by months, years, or custom ranges with our Date Range Filters. In addition, you can also export the data into a CSV file and further manipulate it for analysis or leverage it in external systems. Nothing beats informed decisions, right?!
