Create a new version of an asset

Permissions

Visibility of the "add new Version" feature

The creation and publication of an asset version rely on two permissions:

• The right to create media in an asset library. Users with this permission will see the "Add a New Version" button.

• The right to publish (transitioning from Draft to Published status). Users with this permission will be able to publish the newly created version.

How it works

Create a new version

Click on the asset of your choice to access its details.

Open

Then, click on the "Versions" tab.

Open

Click on add new version

You are redirected to the draft page of the new version, which includes:

• A section on the left: This allows the user to either use the existing media or upload new asset from their workstation.

• A section on the right: By default, the metadata from the current version is copied over. The user can choose to modify it or keep it as is.

Click "Publish" to publish the version in the DAM. Click "Save" to save the changes made in the metadata form.

Note: Once published, the new version will become the current version of the asset. If the asset’s distribution link (Media Delivery) was in use, it will remain valid, and the new version of the asset will automatically be served.
