Overall, this new single-asset experience provides you the tools you need to manage individual assets, all with a refreshed UI. When paired with Redesigned Search, this gives you a cohesive, updated search and asset interaction flow.
Beyond core functionality built into Asset Digest, the overall UI experience has been updated compared to your legacy single-asset resource tools, and a few new features exclusive to Asset Digest have been added.
You can 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.
Tags are a controlled list of keywords you can add to your assets. These tags are searchable in Acquia DAM and also clickable in Asset Digest, bringing you to a search of other assets with that tag applied. Tags dynamically link similar assets together, aiding in your users' search flow. Redesigned Search also has a dedicated filter for Tags, and Tags can be edited either from Asset Digest or the Bulk Edit tool in Redesigned Search.
This new toggle allows individual users to either show all metadata fields an asset has applied or see only the metadata fields that have information tagged to them, aiding in the scannability of an asset's information.
Individual asset download includes the original and preconfigured downloads you had before, along with web-friendly formats, all in an updated modal.
Individual asset share now has a new dedicated Share URL option with a new viewer, as well as your existing embed and share URLs and links.
Individual asset versions have an updated carousel UI, allowing you to view previous versions, switch versions, upload new versions, and delete versions.
Related Assets is a feature that helps you quickly find similar assets. Acquia DAM automatically tracks relevant information to help you locate just the right assets based on associations related to metadata, Product (Entries), and assets the user recently viewed.
The Asset Associations panel displays information on when the asset is assigned or linked to a collection, an integration, a Portal, a product within the Entries application, or a Workflow project.
Asset Digest, when paired with the Redesigned Search experience, gives you exclusive access to new AI functionality in your Acquia DAM. Note that the following features can be activated in your DAM via Admin > Global Settings > Features.
AI Tags automatically generate and apply keywords to your image assets upon upload. These individual tags are clickable from Asset Digest to bring you to a search of other assets with that AI Tag applied, and Redesigned Search has a dedicated filter for AI Tags. AI Tags work alongside the manually mentioned tags to give your assets baseline keywords to make content more searchable. When paired with Tags, this gives you a solid baseline of searchable information for your assets.
With Facial Recognition, you can automatically detect and group faces in images. These faces can be tagged with specific names, which are editable and viewable within Asset Digest. Redesigned Search also has a dedicated filter to refine by specific names.
Automatically generate a transcript of words spoken in a video asset. Transcript contents can be viewed in Asset Digest and are part of your search index, meaning transcript contents are searchable with your global search bar. Advanced Search also has a dedicated transcripts filter allowing you to search on transcripts specifically.
AI-powered document summarization feature that generates a concise English-language summary of a document to help you understand its content without reading the full file.
The Video Creator app allows you to create and edit videos using DAM assets, then export those files back to DAM. Choose from many video templates and modify text, colors, fonts, images, music, and footage to make it your own, or build your content using pre-animated, editable clips. Alternatively, start from scratch and compose your video content based on your own DAM assets combined with royalty-free assets in the Video Creator libraries.
Asset Digest also allows you to view individual asset analytics. You can quickly see data about an individual asset, including how much the asset is being used, how it is being used, where it is being viewed, and who is engaging with it outside of your DAM.
Each DAM user can enable the Asset Digest and Redesigned Search experience for their DAM account:
Click your avatar in the global menu.
Select User preferences.
Enable Asset Digest.
Users with administrator-level permissions can also switch all users to the new Redesigned Search and Asset Digest experience together:
