Work in Detail View

You can work with and learn about an asset by opening it in Detail View. In Detail View, you see the asset size, attributes, derivatives, and metadata. You also see whether and when the asset was published and you can obtain the URL of published assets. Depending on the asset type, you can preview it at different sizes, zoom in on it, and perform sharpening, cropping, and other formatting operations.

Get information in Detail View

Detail View provides information about an asset or file. It shows this information about an item: the folder where it is stored, its filename, the date the item was uploaded to Adobe Dynamic Media Classic, and its publishing history. You can also view and edit metadata and add keywords for an asset in Detail View.

You can obtain an asset URL in Detail View; however, the URL is not active until you publish the asset. For images, Detail View also provides a list of build and derived assets and metadata, such as zoom targets and Image Sets.

Work with assets in Detail View

Detail View offers tools for working with the asset that you opened. Which tools are available depends on the type of asset you are working with, but Detail View always offers these functions:

• items for publish - Select the Publish icon to the left of the name, or go to File > Publish or File > Unpublish.

• Rename the asset - Select the name and enter a new name.

• Edit and add metadata - Select the Metadata panel and change as desired. See View, add, and export metadata.

• Edit and add keywords - Select Keywords and add or remove them as desired. See Add or edit keywords.

• Delete the asset - Go to File > Delete.

For discrete files—images, Image Sets, and fonts, for example—you can view the publishing and editing history, and check job details, in Detail View.
