What is new in the app

Version 2.0 of the app is created from grounds-up to provide many improvements over the previous versions. The new app is more user-friendly and offers a dedicated desktop experience with a new application UI. Users can discover assets via search or browsing, open, edit, and upload changes, as well as upload new assets - without requiring the user to use the Experience Manager interface. This version also supports opening files from the Experience Manager interface.

The new app brings substantial improvements to the user experience, while catering to the same use cases as before. The following are the top-level improvements.

  • Users discover assets by browsing and searching within the app’s built-in browser. Doing so eliminates the need to rely on Mac Finder or Windows Explorer to display a virtual network share.
  • Clear guidance on the actions available to users.
  • Performance is improved by reducing bandwidth usage. The original binary files are downloaded only when necessary. For browsing and searching assets, only small thumbnails are transferred.
  • Optimized for bulk operations, such as bulk upload.

The primary use cases and enhancements of the new app are mapped with the customer journey in the following illustration.

The desktop app lets users accomplish all the above-mentioned use cases. If necessary, you can also choose to do asset discovery in the web interface, and then pass control to the app to open and edit the assets.
