October 2023 Release Notes

Acquia DAM Community updates¶

The Acquia DAM community is now fully part of Acquia. It has the same look, the same resources, and all historical data.

What changed?

Single sign-on (SSO) authentication. DAM users now access and authenticate into the community from their DAM site. They no longer need to sign up or log in.
Community permissions are based on DAM site permissions. DAM admins have full access to community resources, including the discussion forum and product roadmap. Non-admins have basic access to things like DAM User Groups, support articles, and DAM Customer Support. If you can no longer access particular community features, contact your DAM admin to update your permissions.
Widen University courses moved to Acquia Academy. You can watch the same videos, but you’ll no longer be able to track course progress in the community.

Skip links were added for more efficient navigation when using a keyboard and screen reader on pages with global navigation. Before, you had to tab through all global navigation buttons and headers. Now, you can tab to open a skip link, press enter, and go straight to the main page content. This is now available across the whole Acquia DAM.
We completed a new Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) for the Asset Viewer. These templates document our product’s conformance with accessibility standards and guidelines.

An issue was fixed so that:

When editing metadata on the Asset Details page, required and hidden dependent autocomplete metadata fields no longer cause an error.
Asset category changes made in Quick View will display as a “General Edit” instead of an “API Edit” in asset history.
Searching for assets using search shortcuts in the redesigned search and in portals now returns the correct results.
Closing Quick View does not take you to the top of the search results page.
The count for the “Pending Delete” in the Admin app matches the actual number of pending delete assets the admin has access to.
We updated how admin password reset links are generated.
Expired assets are only showing up in the asset count for the “Expired” search filter and are no longer showing up in the count for “Released.”
