How do I upload alternate previews?
The system uploads files for previews that it does not create. After you upload an alternate preview, an "Alt Preview" badge opens next to the version thumbnail in the "Asset info" panel.
When an alternate preview (JPG or PNG) is uploaded, the way users interact with the asset depends on the original file type.
Original Asset Type | Visual Display | Quick View / Thumbnail Click | Expand Preview Click | Download Click |
