Asset Versions
An Asset Version is a derivative of a file that is based on the original source.
For example, a low-resolution representation (thumbnail or web-res) of a print-quality photo. Each Version of a file is saved as a Version of the Asset.
In the below example, there are multiple Versions of the same Asset (original, thumbnail, web). Click on the different Versions to be able to view/comment on them.
Adding Versions
To upload a new Version of an Asset, click the plus sign next to the different existing Versions of the Asset. A prompt will appear asking for a Version name and a file to upload. Type in a name for your new Version (or the name of an existing Version to replace it), select the Asset, then click ‘Start Upload’. The file will be added to the Upload Queue.
Automated Versioning
You can automatically generate web, thumbnail, super-resolution and watermarked versions of Assets. This can be done while uploading by ticking the respective options under the ‘Automations’ section of the ‘Asset Details’ step, or using the ‘Automations’ option in Library Actions.
The ‘Generate super-resolution’ option is only available from the Asset Detail page, and may be used on small (< 16 MB) .jpeg or .jpeg images. This option will use deep learning AI to generate a large version with increased resolution.
See: Watermarking for more details on watermarked Versions.
