Filtering Assets in the Library
Overview
Filters help you quickly narrow down asset results in the Library. Whether you’re searching by metadata, tags, profile, or file type, filters make it easier to find exactly what you need.
There are two main types of filters:
- Saved Filters – Predefined filter sets available in Library > Filters
- Quick Filters – Temporary, user-defined filters accessed from the “Asset filter” drawer
Saved Filters
Saved Filters are reusable filter configurations that can be applied with a single click. These filters are especially useful for recurring searches (e.g., product launches, brand folders, or campaign-specific assets).
Creating a Saved Filter
- Go to Library > Filters.
- Click [+ New Filter].
- The filter drawer will open. Set the criteria using quick or advanced filters.
- Click Save and enter a name for your new filter.
Editing and Deleting Saved Filters
If you have permission, you can edit or delete saved filters:
- Edit: Update the filter’s criteria and re-save it with the same name.
- Delete: Permanently remove the filter from the platform.
Note: Deleting a saved filter removes it for all users who had access to it.
Quick Filters
Quick Filters are accessible while browsing the Library. These are temporary filters and are not saved unless explicitly turned into a Saved Filter.
To Use Quick Filters:
- Click the “Asset filter” button in the top right of the Library.
- The filter drawer will open on the right.
- Select any combination of the available criteria.
Available Filter Criteria
- Profiles
- Metadata (dropdown, multi-dropdown, checkboxes)
- Tags
- File Extensions
- Created Date
- Last Modified Date
Advanced Filters
The filter drawer also includes an Advanced Filters section for more complex filtering needs. You can define specific conditions and use logical operators to combine them.
Condition Types
- Profile
- Metadata
- Metadata or Values
- Folder
- Folder or Subfolders
- Extension
- Created Date
- Last Updated Date
- Tag
- Preview
Logic Operators
You can combine conditions using:
- AND – All conditions must match
- OR – Any matching condition will include the result
- Custom Logic – Define logic between multiple conditions (e.g.,
1 AND (2 OR 3)
)
Tips
- Use Saved Filters for recurring team needs (e.g., department-specific assets).
- Quick Filters are great for ad-hoc browsing and exploration.
- If a Saved Filter disappears, it may have been deleted by someone with access.
