How to Edit an Asset
Overview
This guide explains how to edit an asset in the Library. Editing includes updating metadata, tags, descriptions, and other properties. Assets can be edited individually or in bulk, and the options available depend on your permissions, the asset’s profile, and the platform’s configuration.
Before You Start
- You must have permission to edit assets.
- The available fields for editing are controlled by the metadata profile assigned to the asset.
- Some metadata fields may be locked or restricted based on platform configuration.
- Any edits you make will be reflected for all users who have access to the asset.
Ways to Edit an Asset
- From Asset Actions (⋯): In folders, metadata views, dwellings, and search results, use the three-dot menu next to the asset to access the Edit action.
- Batch Edit: Select multiple assets using the checkboxes. A banner will appear at the bottom of the screen where you can select Edit. You can choose which metadata fields to apply across all selected assets.
- From Asset Details: When viewing the asset detail page, you can edit all available fields and metadata directly from the interface.
Steps to Edit an Asset
- Locate the asset you want to edit (in a folder, metadata view, dwellings, or search results).
- Click the three-dot menu (⋯) next to the asset and select Edit, or open the asset and click the Edit option in the detail view.
- Make changes to:
- Title or name
- Tags or custom metadata fields (as defined by the asset’s profile)
- Copyrights (as defined by the asset’s profile)
- Owner (as defined by the asset’s profile)
- Click Save to apply your changes.
Tips
- Batch editing is ideal for applying shared metadata to multiple assets efficiently.
- The metadata profile determines which fields you can view and edit, as well as which components are shown in the asset details view.
- If a field is not visible or editable, it may be restricted by the platform configuration or your role.
