As an Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets administrator, you can publish assets, folders, and collections to the AEM Assets Brand Portal instance. Also, you can schedule the publish workflow of an asset or folder to a later date or time. Once published, the Brand Portal users can access and further distribute the assets, folders, and collections to other users.

However, you must first configure AEM Assets with Brand Portal. For details, see Configure AEM Assets with Brand Portal.

If you make subsequent modifications to the original asset, folder, or collection in AEM Assets, the changes are not reflected in Brand Portal until you republish from AEM Assets. This feature ensures that work-in-progress changes are not available in Brand Portal. Only approved changes that are published by an administrator are available in Brand Portal.

NOTE
Adobe recommends staggered publishing, preferably during non-peak hours, so that the AEM author does not occupy excess resources.
Assets should be published in batches. The recommendation for batch size is 15K.
For Experience Manager Assets as a Cloud Service, the transfer rate observed under lab condition is 1000 assets per hour. The rate is observed with an average size of 10 MB assets.
