If you've uploaded a number of new assets to your site and need to add metadata and assign them to categories, or if there are a number of outdated assets that need expiration dates so they're no longer used, you can add or edit details for those assets – including assigning them to asset groups and adding release dates or other security information – anytime. Edit details for a single asset or a batch of assets.

Edit a single asset

For single assets, edit metadata, categories, asset groups, and the release and expiration date on the Asset Details page or Asset Digest.
 

Edit in Asset Details

On the Asset Details page, click the pencil icon next to a field or edit all fields by clicking Edit all. In Quick View, click Edit. Add values to metadata fields on the fly by clicking Add Value.

Click Save after your additions/changes have been made. You can also click Save and Next Section to edit the next section (i.e., asset categories or asset groups/security) or Save and Next Asset to edit details for the next asset in search results.

If you're batch editing dependent metadata fields, you'll first need to select from the parent fields, then choose a dependent child.
 

Edit during upload and from the Uploads page

Batch editing can also be completed during the upload process or after assets have been uploaded by selecting assets on the Uploads page.

After upload, select the files to add details to, choose Edit selection on the Review and Edit page, then make any updates. (Note that you can edit single assets from the Review and Edit page by clicking either the Options dropdown menu or by choosing Edit selection for a single file upload.)

To edit metadata for multiple assets from the Uploads page, select the checkboxes next to assets then click Edit. Follow the instructions above to edit metadata, asset categories, and asset groups/security on the Batch Edit page.

If your workflow includes tagging metadata after upload, use alerts and email notifications to track when new assets are uploaded. The alert or email notification serves as a reminder to tag metadata in batches.
