Uploading assets to the DAM?
Follow these best practices to keep your assets organized and accessible:
Filename Guidelines
- Use only lowercase letters
- Replace spaces with dashes (e.g., product-image-banner.png)
- No special characters (letters, numbers, and dashes only)
- No spaces allowed
Organize with Folders
- Create logical folder structures to group related assets.
For example:- Board Photos
- Event Brochures
- Marketing Materials
- Use consistent, descriptive folder names to make finding assets easy for everyone.
After Uploading
- Open asset properties to add a descriptive title and summary.
- Quick Publish to make your asset available for use.
Why it matters
Proper filenames and organized folders prevent upload errors and make assets easy to find and manage.
