Collections in AEM Assets Content Hub

Transcript

In this video, we’ll show you how to create and manage asset collections in Adobe Experience Manager Assets Content Hub. A collection in Content Hub is a set of assets that you can conveniently share with your team members with a simple click of a button. You can add assets from different locations to a collection without breaking their referential integrity. This allows members of your organization to easily access and use your brand-approved assets in one shared space. To browse asset collections, log in to the Content Hub portal and navigate to the Collections tab. If you have many collections, you can utilize the search bar up here to narrow down your results and find what you need. From the Collections tab, you can download the full collection or copy its link to share with your team. Let’s create a new collection that would contain images for our Whistler Mountain Biking campaign. To create a collection, click Create Collection in the top right corner. Give it a descriptive title that will make it easier to find on the Content Hub portal and add a description for your collection. Once done, click Create. We can see our new collection has been created and now it’s time to add assets to it. Go to the All Assets tab and let’s search for the biking images. Simply select the assets that you want to include in your collection and click Add to Collection in the action bar at the top. In the preview section on the left, we can see the list of assets that are going to be added to the collection. If you want to remove an asset, simply click the X icon next to it. On the right side, you must select the collection you want to add these assets to. If we haven’t created a collection, we could do so directly from this dialog by clicking the Create New Collection button. But for our example, let’s select the collection we’ve just created and click Add to Collection. Back in the Collections tab, we can see some of the assets we’ve added in the preview on the collection card. Clicking the collection card will open the list of all assets included in this collection. You can use the search field to find a specific asset. Just like in the All Assets tab, you can apply filters such as tags, file format, and more to narrow down the results within the collection and find the assets faster. You can download an asset from here by clicking the download icon on the asset card. Or you can share the asset link with your colleagues by clicking the share button. Clicking an asset card will allow you to view the details of this asset and perform the same asset actions that you can perform from the All Assets tab. To remove an asset from the collection, simply click the Remove from Collection icon on the assets card and confirm your action. If you want to edit the collection’s title or description, you can do so by clicking the Details button in the top right corner from within the collection. Let’s specify that this collection contains the assets for the 2024 campaign and hit Save Changes. Finally, let’s say our campaign has been successfully completed and we don’t need this collection anymore. From within the collection, click the Remove button here in the top right corner. Confirm the action and our collection has been successfully deleted. You should now know how to create and manage collections in Content Hub. We hope this will help you and your team effectively organize, manage, and share your assets on the Content Hub portal. Thanks for watching!
