Embedding assets
This feature is available only to Acquia DAM Professional
subscribers.
Acquia DAM makes it easy to share links to assets in your
digital asset manager, or embed those assets on a web page or email.
Admins and contributors may access the links.
Embeddable downloads provide the added option to embed a thumbnail
and a link to download the asset. You can track where the assets are
embedded and how many times the asset has been downloaded.
For example, you can list your products on your website, including downloadable
brochures that explain the product in details. With embeddable downloads,
you can copy an embeddable code for a brochure directly from your DAM. This code is then
embedded on your website, allowing you to embed a thumbnail of the selected brochure.
