Marking assets as archived within Bynder allows you to control who can view and download your assets. archive is an Advanced Rights option that you can enable on individual assets. Advanced Rights allow you to control who has access to particular files. You can set an asset to archive indefinitely or with a specific start date, similar to an expiration. While archived, only specific users with the appropriate permissions will be able to view and/or download these assets. Assets marked as archived will display Archive on the asset thumbnail.

One of the main use cases for this feature is for assets that should no longer be available for users to view/download but that need to continue to be stored within Bynder, such as outdated, expired, or assets no longer in use by the majority of the user base. For example, let’s say that your team has a Spring Campaign that runs until June 1st, when the Summer Campaign begins. You can store the Spring Campaign assets within Bynder and set that you want them to be marked as archived on June 1st. This way, on June 1st, the archive right will be added to your asset and they’ll no longer be available to the majority of your user base. You can set it so that some users, such as your design team, can still view and download these archived assets for future campaign inspiration.

Note

-
-
On (date): This option will automatically archive the asset on the date and time that you set. Until then it will be visible for users in the Asset Bank. The date will display in the time-zone of the user (or the timezone of the portal if the user does not have one).

By default, when sharing assets with users, the recipient’s permissions will be respected. Therefore if you share a collection that includes assets marked with archive to a group of users, only those who have access to the archived assets in the Asset Bank will also have access to those assets in the collection.
However, you can allow any user within the portal to View archived assetsif they’re added to a collection. This collection must be created by a user with view archived assets permission and then shared with a user without the permissions in order to bypass that restriction.

We can help you keep users notified about assets being archived. If this option is enabled for you, users who have downloaded an asset (once or multiple times) will receive a built-in notification within Bynder on the archival date. Learn more about the notification center here.
Additionally, you may ask your Customer Success resource to configure the notification so that it also appears before an asset reaches its archival date. You may also specify how many days prior to the archival date that the notification should be shown.
Note
-
The notification will also be generated when a version or a derivative of the asset is archived.
-
The notification is only sent to those who have downloaded the asset.
-
Notifications will not be generated for open asset bank users.
To better help you manage your asset’s lifecycle, Bynder can enable a setting that will require all assets uploaded or edited to have an archival date.
This setting will impact assets uploaded via the front-end uploader and the editing of all assets. However, this setting will not be enforced with Version Updater, Mass Uploader, or via API.
Should you wish to retain mandatory archival dates for API uploads, ensure that you upload them to the Waiting room first so that the archive date cannot be bypassed.
Reach out to your Customer Success Manager or support to have this setting enabled.
