WoodWing Assets

1	InDesign plugin	This plugin enables native integration with Adobe InDesign.
2	Metadata model	Users can enrich and categorize files using metadata, taxonomies, and flags, allowing for efficient organization and retrieval of assets. WoodWing Assets allows over 400 metadata fields and supports the international metadata standards (IPTC, EXIF, XMP, Dublin core).
3	Share links	With share links users can share files seamlessly, eliminating the need for time-consuming back-and-forth communication.
4	Permissions	Permissions on a user level can be configured to determine who can view, download, or edit digital assets. These can be applied on a general folder level and, more specifically, on metadata fields like status, copyright, date, or geographical restrictions.
5	(Brand) portals	(Brand) portals enable easy file sharing through a secure site with personalized branding and URL. Note: The portal features in WoodWing Swivle & Assets 10 are more advanced than in WoodWing Assets 6 and include for, example, custom branding
6	Agent	With the Agent users can check out files in their native application, such as Adobe InDesign or Photoshop.
7	Preview	Users can preview files like InDesign files and Photoshop images in the web client, without opening them in the native application.
8	Collections	Collections allow users to organize content into a logical structure that suits their needs. Unlike Folders, which contain the master version of files, Collections contain references to files. That means files can be added to multiple Collections to help users find, share, and showcase the files. Users can pin Collections to the portal home page for easier access.
9	File history and audit trail	Users can view the full history of every file, including versions, metadata changes, copies, and other actions.

Content collaboration basic: standard commenting via notes Content collaboration advanced: Content collaboration comments panel includes comments on object types (collections, layout, articles) and allows users to @ mention specific users. All comments will be trackable from a comment panel and can be resolved, edited, and removed.
13	Photo editor	The Photo editor allows users to quickly create image variants or make quick touch-ups without leaving WoodWing Assets. Basic editing: Crop with presets, adjustments like brightness and saturation. Advanced editing: Create variants with text overlays, stickers, borders, filters, etc.
14	Video editor	The video editor should enable users to edit videos within the DAM. For example, when publishing a short video to a channel like YouTube, Facebook or TikTok, the user can bundle the source videos and add text overlays without relying on the video production team or advanced and complex video editing tools. This is planned for Assets 10 in 2024.

20	Open API	Access to the open API to integrate WoodWing Assets into the customer’s IT-landscape.
21	Metadata synchronization	When metadata field values are updated for either the original file or for one of its variants, this change can be synchronized so that all files (the original file and its variants) are updated with that change. For example, metadata fields containing important context or legal information such as the description, tags, copyright details, usage rights information, and so on.
22	Front-end plugin	Options to configure the front-end plugin in the WoodWing Assets web client.
23	Collections advanced	With this feature a Collection can be added to another Collection. This makes it possible to organize content more structurally, like using a folder structure.
