Asset Versions

An Asset Version is a derivative of a file that is based on the original source.

An Asset on HIVO can have many different versions, such as original, web, thumbnail, watermarked and any other version, etc. Each version of an Asset represents a separate file with different sizes and properties. The metadat on Asset versions, however, is kept the same to avoid duplication of assets stored in your account.

Viewing Different Versions on Asset Detail Page

In the example image, there are multiple versions of the same Asset (eg. original, thumbnail, web versions). You can click on the different versions to view, comment or perform actions on them.
