Change the Status of Assets

All digital assets are considered to be drafts until they’re specifically changed to a different status, such as “approved” or “in review.”

Here’s what you need to know about changing the status of an asset:

  • The status of an asset can only be changed when you view the asset.

  • Keep in mind that only managers or owners of a collection can change the status of an item. If a collection was shared with you and you don’t have a Manager role, you won’t be able to change the status. Also, you can’t unpublish or delete objects that are being used. It must be removed from the website where it’s used before its status can be changed.

  • If you upload a new version of a digital asset, it’s automatically labeled as Draft.

  • In order to publish something, you must have at least a Contributor role on the channel where the asset is managed.

An item’s status is designated by its icon:

  • blue circle with white up arrow Published

  • green circle with white dot Approved

  • red circle with white X Rejected

  • gray circle with vertical white line Draft

  • gray circle with white A Translated

  • yellow circle with a horizontal white line In Review

To alter the status of an asset in your browser:

  1. Click Assets.

  2. Select the asset.

  3. Choose the new status from the menu bar or the right-click menu.

If the item has translated versions, select the item and then click Expand. You can only change the status of a translated version if it’s been approved. If the item hasn’t been approved, a status change isn’t shown as a menu option.
