Overview

Collections are like a playlist of assets. Group assets across your Library into a separate, single location for additional organization and collaboration. A Collection is private to the creator until it's shared with other users, who's permissions are controlled on each Collection shared. Adjustments and updates to assets within a Collection are recorded throughout your Library, preserving all workflow history wherever the assets are visible.

When to create a collection:

“I’d like specific users to only see and/or download assets I share with them”

“I want to send assets to my retouchers so they can use the Photoshop Plugin, and so I can quickly review new Versions they upload."

“I need to deliver final assets to my client for download and want to avoid them shifting through folders in our Workspace to find them."

“My team needs a single location to collaborate on the specific assets involved in our project.”

"I need to focus my (and others) attention on only 25 assets out of the hundreds uploaded to my Workspace."

Create New Collection

You can also select Create Collection at the top right of the Library once asset(s) are selected.
