Acquia DAM (Widen)
How do I use the Acquia DAM module?
If a user is not authenticated, they may not see any DAM assets in the Media Library or may receive permission errors. For details, refer to Authenticate a Drupal user with Acquia DAM (Widen).
When you create content in Drupal, explore assets in Acquia DAM (Widen) and add them to your pages through the Media Library.
In the content edit page, select Insert Media where you can select the media files or upload a new file.
In the Media Library, select DAM as the media source.
Automatically update: Update automatically when assets are updated in Acquia DAM (Widen).
Manually update: Require a manual update when a new version becomes available.
The Acquia DAM (Widen) module checks for new asset versions approximately every hour.
If you selected Manually update, Drupal displays an alert on the content edit page when a new version of that asset exists in Acquia DAM (Widen).
On the edit page, select Update media to review.
Review the current media and the new version side by side.
To force Drupal to detect a switch to a previous version:

Drupal detects the metadata change as an update. After the next sync cycle of up to one hour, you should see the previous version of the asset reflected on the Drupal page if you chose automatic updates or as an available update if you choose manual updates.
