  • To add categories to individual assets, select an asset and click Add/Edit under the actions menu. You must add at least one category to each asset to move forward in the upload process.

  • If you have made any errors and need to start again, click on the Clear all categories link. 

Once you have assigned all assets to categories, click the illuminated green Continue button. 

 

5. Next is to add any relevant attributes to the assets. Similar to the last step, you can either add them in bulk or individually by clicking on Add/Edit. Please note that adding attributes is not a required step and you can continue on at any time.

6. Next, add keywords to your assets in bulk by clicking Add/Edit within the Bulk Keywords menu or individually by typing in any keywords. Once complete, click Continue.

Once you've uploaded your assets, the originals will be available within your library immediately, although it may take a few minutes to be able to see the asset preview.
