What is the difference between adding and merging folders?
What is adding a folder?
When you’re adding a folder to a category on the DAM, MediaValet Direct will replicate the folder, subfolders, and the assets.
What is merging a folder?
Opting to merge a folder in MediaValet Direct will result in the addition of only the contents of the selected folder to the chosen category on the DAM. This action does not generate a new category; instead, it adds only adds the subfolders and assets.
This is a good option when consolidating the contents of various folders from your desktop, external drives, or web drives into a single category within the DAM.
Example:
You have a folder on your desktop called “Seasons.” Inside this folder are multiple sub-folders and assets. This is how the category structure would look if you Added this folder:
This is how the category structure would look if you Merged this folder:
