You can configure preferences that give users access to certain features when they are adding comments in an object’s Updates area.

Access requirements

You must have the following access to perform the steps in this article:

Adobe Workfront plan Any
Adobe Workfront license Plan
Access level configurations

To perform these steps at the system level, you need the System Administrator access level.

To perform them for a group, you must be a manager of that group.

NOTE: If you still don't have access, ask your Workfront administrator if they set additional restrictions in your access level. For information on how a Workfront administrator can modify your access level, see Create or modify custom access levels.

Allow users to add images in updates

By default, users cannot add images in updates. When you enable this preference, users will be able to attach images in updates. The preference applies to all updates in all areas of your Workfront instance.

NOTE
  • Images saved in updates count toward the document storage limit. For information, see Check document storage limits.
  • Images are accessible through the Updates tab on an object and are also available in the Documents area under the Main Menu.

  1. Click the Main Menu icon in the upper-right corner of Adobe Workfront, then click Setup .

  2. In the left panel, select Interface > Update Feeds.

  3. Select the Preferences tab.

  4. Select the Allow users to add images in updates check box.

  5. Select Save.

    When this preference is enabled, you can disable it at any time. Any images already posted in updates will remain in the Updates area on the object.
