Uploading assets
You can upload assets individually or in bulk, import them as a zip file, or upload assets from another app.
To upload an asset:
-
Select a parent folder to upload the asset. If no folder is selected, the asset will upload at the root level.
-
Click Upload assets.
-
Select files to upload or drag and drop them into the designated area.
|
The upload size limit is 100MB, regardless of the number of assets you want to upload. To change the limit, see Configuring asset upload. |
|
For images, the image details and a thumbnail display. You can open the image editor and edit the image by clicking that thumbnail. |
|
In the default configuration, the dialog does not have a field for renaming the filename of the asset.
To read more on how to add the field to the dialog head over to assets configuration. |
Uploading an asset from another app
You can upload an asset into the Magnolia DAM also from any other app that can browse the DAM, for example when creating a new contact in the Contacts app. The procedure and actions are identical to those in the Assets app and work in exactly the same way. You can define app-specific metadata fields which can be different from the standard metadata fields available when uploading in the Assets app.
