Managing digital asset versions

Keeping versions of digital assets allows you to re-purpose versions, or revert to an older version if needed. Even though multiple asset versions may exist, only versions designated as the current version display in the Mosaic view and Editor.

Note

You can attach duplicate files to the same field. When the add-on sees that the asset is a duplicate, a screen displays that allows you to preview the asset and choose whether to continue, or cancel.

To create a new version of an asset or change the current version:

  1. Select an asset in the Editor, or in the Manage digital assets view.

  2. Click the Edit icon to open the Edit digital asset screen.

  3. Select the Version management tab. (If you do not need to upload a new file and are only switching to a different version, tick the radio button in the Current version column of the desired asset, and skip to step 7).

  4. Browse to upload a new file. The uploaded file must have the same file extension as the original asset.

  5. Optionally, add a Version name, Comment and select the Current version checkbox to automatically make this the current version. If you designate this asset as the current version, you can also enable the Update label option. This option updates the asset's label shown in the Editor to the current version's file name.

  6. Click Create new version. The add-on automatically applies any existing tags and metadata to the new version.

  7. Save and close to exit.
