After you create collections, they can be shared from the Selection panel and the Collections page. Assets can be shared as a collection or via email from the Selection panel. Global and personal collections that have already been created can be shared from the Collections page.

 

Share from the Selection panel¶

To share assets as a collection from the Selection panel:

1. Add assets to the Selection panel.
2. Click the Share icon.
3. Click Share as collection.

 

 

Enter a title and, if you'd like, a description. Click Share to share the collection via email or Edit Share Page to create a collection share page. In the instance below, we'll share the collection via email.

Next, select who should receive the collection. Add new contacts if recipient names don't display. The shared collection displays in the Shared Collections table on the Collections page. Choose from collection options on the Collections page, including editing the collection share page.

 

Share via email¶

Assets can also be shared via email from the Selection panel. To share via email:

1. Add assets to the Selection panel.
2. Click the Share icon.
3. Click Share via Email.

 

Next, select who should receive the email. Add new contacts if recipient names don't display. 

 

After that, choose the conversion formats you want to share. The assets will be shared via email and the Shares page displays.

 

 

Consider permissions¶

Acquia DAM (Widen) users who are not logged in and non-users will see all assets in the collection you share. If recipients are logged in, their permissions could affect how much of the collection they can see. This is true whether you're sharing a collection via the Selection panel or email.

Collections page¶

Share global and personal collections from the Collections page. To share a global or personal collection, click Share Collection and select recipients.

Note that global collections will only display on the Collections page when the Administrate Global Collections permission enabled by your site admin. With that permission, you'll see all global collections listed, but you may not be able to access all assets within those collections if you don't have permissions for the asset groups to which those assets belong.
