In the Asset Digest, you will find the preview of an asset, its metadata, and related assets. You can also see if the asset is included in any collections or portals, or if it is assigned to products in the Entries app. You can also track data, share, and download it. 

Go to the Asset Digest by clicking an asset in search results, when selecting an asset from the activity feed, or when you are viewing assets in a collection.
 

Asset preview and Quick View

In the Asset Digest, you can also select the Expand preview icon to enlarge the asset on the page and make the asset information panel narrower. 

Note that the Expand preview icon only displays on windows larger than 1440px in width. 

In this expanded preview, you can zoom in and out on images, scroll within documents, and play videos. Metadata in the asset information panel changes so that the metadata field title displays above values, instead of side by side. Select the Collapse preview icon to switch it back to the original page layout. 
 

Click the Quick View icon on the asset to see a larger preview and to assess the asset’s visual quality. You can zoom in and out on an image or download the asset. 

Filename

If you have the edit metadata permission, you can edit the asset’s filename. Hover over or tab to the filename at the top of the page. Click inside the gray bar and edit the filename. Save by clicking outside the box, pressing tab, or clicking the checkmark icon.  

Asset actions

If you have permission, you will see several buttons below the asset preview. 
 

Users with the Delete Assets permission can delete assets through the three-dot menu. When an asset is deleted, it is moved to the Pending Delete queue in admin for review and final deletion. After they confirm deletion, users are returned to their search results page.

If you select Share, the share modal will display, giving you three share options: share link, embed code, and embed link. Selecting the Download button displays a modal with format options for download. When the asset insights feature is enabled, you can select Insights and view download, view, and share data about a single asset. To archive the asset, select Archive. 

Categories, tags, metadata, and security

Next to the asset preview are panels with information about the asset. By default, the Asset info panel displays first, but panels can be re-ordered by drag and drop. The order you choose will then be applied when you view other assets in the Asset Digest.

In the Asset info panel, you will find information about the asset. By clicking Details, you can view category, tags, metadata, and security. See the articles on editing metadata and other asset details and adding tags. 

In Details, you can choose to show empty metadata fields or hide them with a toggle near the top of the panel. This setting doesn't affect categories or security details – those will always display. If you change this setting, Asset Digest will remember your preference next time. 

File Info, Attached Documents, and Versions

Select File info to see when the asset was added to Acquia DAM, the uploaded file format, the aspect ratio, and additional details.

Select Attached documents to see documents that were uploaded with or added to the asset. This feature is updated: Users with appropriate permissions can now upload new attachments, add existing attachments, and remove attachments from the asset. Previously, users had view-only access.

Select Versions to add a new version, save another version as final, or delete a version.

Related assets

In the Related assets panel, explore assets that are related by metadata or by product or those you have recently viewed.

Asset associations

The Asset associations panel displays when the asset is assigned to a global or personal collection, portal, or Entries product.

For collections, the name of the collection, type of collection, and collection description are displayed. Click a collection name to see all assets in the collection. You can also add or remove the asset you're viewing to or from collections. 

For portals, the portal name, date the portal was created, and creator’s name are displayed. Portals are listed when the asset is in an assets section or collection in an assets section in a portal. If the asset is in a dynamic gallery, the portal name won’t be included. Click a portal name to see the portal in which the asset is included.

If you’re using our API, you'll see a link to the asset (that's created by calling the app), along with the app name and URL under Integration Links, giving you a better view of where your assets are located.

If you have permission to access Entries, products that are associated with the asset will be displayed under Products. The product’s featured image, name, SKU, and product type are also listed. Select View details to see the product’s details in Entries.
