Uplinks is a feature of Globaledit that simplifies the process of working with any external contributor by making the content collection process cleaner and easier than ever!
Uplinks are secure, shareable upload links that let external contributors submit their content directly into your Globaledit instance. Globaledit Admin users will generate a custom link, that anchors to a Workspace Folder (or sub-folder) that they can share among their clients who will in turn use it to upload their content into Globaledit without the need to access the platform.
Getting Started
Users who intend to create and/or manage Uplinks must be assigned the Organization Admin Role or a custom Organization Role that includes the policy, "Manage Uplinks."
Tip: If you don't have access to the Admin page, please reach out to an Admin level user from your Organization
