What's New
User Experience
We strive to improve the usability of our platform. The latest release includes the following improvements:
1. Copy Collection Link
Have you struggled with quickly sharing a collection? It is now possible to copy the link of a collection for easier sharing. This can be done through the Load Collections dialog.
Good to know: Users require a MediaBeacon login to load a shared collection link.
2. Configurable Tooltips
To help users understand what different fields mean, we now give the possibility to configure the text of on-hover tooltips. You can find this in the admin area. Learn more
Upload Failure Report
When uploading assets, there is now a notification when assets fail, and the user can download an Upload Failure Report with some asset data. Learn more
Notification Enhancements
We now offer the ability to subscribe to specific actions of an asset (e.g., Download, Edit, Version, Delete, Discussion). Learn more
Standard Image Property Metadata
Image property metadata is now core viewable and searchable for users.
