Perform Actions While Viewing a Digital Asset

While viewing an asset, you can perform the following actions.

Move the asset through review If the asset requires review, you have different options depending on how the repository is configured:
  • Basic review: Click Submit for Review. If it's already submitted and you're a repository administrator, you can Approve or Reject the asset.

Download the asset To download the asset to your computer, click Download.
Upload a new version of the asset To add a new version of the asset, click More Actions, then select Upload New Version.

If the asset has been localized, you can upload new versions only for the master language, and that new version will be inherited by all the localized versions of the asset.

If you upload a file with a different name or extension, the new version will keep the original name and update the extension as appropriate. For example, if you're uploading a new version for a file named "rose.png", and the file you upload is named "flower.jpg", the new version will be named "rose.jpg" (keeping the original name of "rose", but updating the extension appropriately to ".jpg").
