Practical guidance

Give your content better context.

Short, useful guides to organizing media and keeping collaboration clear.

What is a media asset?

A media asset is a digital file used in communication or production: a photograph, video, audio recording, design file, document, model, or project bundle. A managed asset also includes its context: descriptions, ownership, rights, versions, and review history.

A file is not the whole asset

A filename may tell you what a file is. Metadata helps explain why it exists, who owns it, which campaign it belongs to, and how it can be used. Keep human-approved metadata separate from AI suggestions.

Collections without duplicate files

Collections group references to assets. A product photograph can belong to a launch collection and a brand library without making a second original file.

Approval does not prove usage rights

Review approval and usage authorization are different. Record ownership, license notes, channels, territories, attribution, and expiry. AI tags are not evidence of a license.

Preview is not editing

Storing a file does not mean a browser can display or edit it. Provide file information when preview is unavailable, and enable downloads only after authorization. Never execute uploaded web files or archive contents.

Start with a naming and metadata guide

Choose consistent titles, collections, tags, owners, and descriptions. Agree on review responsibilities. Keep the structure understandable before introducing automated enrichment.
