Keeping up with the never-ending demand for content and ensuring the versions are always up to date can be a challenge for any creative team. The Microsoft Office connector allows users to search your Bynder DAM from within Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. By using your DAM as the source for all brand and creative content, your design team can focus on content creation instead of version management.
The Microsoft Office connector is compatible with Microsoft Office Suite or Microsoft 365 Online and works with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.
Users will be able to search the Asset Bank or collections for assets they have permission to, using smart filters, file types, or tags.
