Wedia Adobe Content Picker

In this new version of the Wedia Adobe Content Picker, we’ve introduced several significant enhancements designed to streamline your workflow when working with Wedia DAM assets in Adobe InDesign. Below are the key improvements:

New “Wedia Links” Tab

• A new “Wedia Links” tab has been added to the interface, allowing users to browse and manage DAM assets that are placed in the active InDesign document.

• This tab provides an overview of all the DAM assets currently linked in the document, displaying details such as asset name, status, and the option to relink or refresh the asset.

Automatic Local Checkout of Assets

• When an InDesign document containing DAM assets is opened, these assets can be automatically checked out onto the local drive of the user.

• This new feature ensures that users have local access to all original images that have been placed in the document, eliminating the need to manually retrieve assets and speeding up workflows.

New Preferences for Dragging Wedia DAM Assets

• A new preference setting allows users to define how Wedia DAM assets are handled when they are dragged into the InDesign document. Users can now choose between:

• Creating a logical link between the placed images and their DAM version.

• Or using a local copy of the image.

• This flexibility provides better control over asset management depending on specific studio or project requirements.
