0:00 Hi everyone and welcome to our first tutorial video on the brand new album management features. So in this video, I'll give you a quick overview of how this powerful digital asset management system works, what you can do with it, and why you might find it useful. 0:15 So before we begin, let me mention that this system is already set up on Sample Storefront for demonstration purposes. If you're looking for details on how to enable, confirm, or figure out or customize any of the features you see here, don't worry, these topics are covered in other tutorials in this 0:30 series. So we'll start off with what is album management. So album management is our digital, built-in digital asset management solution that allows you to store, organize, and share media files amongst yourself and your team. 0:47 Whether you need to manage. Images for design templates, PDFs for reference documents, or any other assets, this tool centralizes all of that content in one easy to navigate place. 1:00 So in terms of how it works, so right now on my screen, you can see the albums area. So this can appear in multiple different ways. 1:12 In multiple different places. So for example, you might find this under my account, if you've got it activated, where there's an album management area. 1:22 Or there's a new module that you can put on any page on your storefront. So for example, here, I've got a content page that I've created on which I've put that particular module for album management. 1:36 So what this allows you to do is create things like top-level folders, which act as albums. And then within there, you can create subfolders, allowing you to build a full hierarchical structure. 1:54 So think of it like Windows Explorer or any typical file management system, right inside of your storefront. 2:13 So just navigating around what we've created here, we can see on the top level that I've got a couple of images already present, and I've got an additional folder that I can select. 2:23 Within that folder, there's, again, a subfolder. Additional images that we can choose from and subfolders within there as well, and we can keep creating that structure as we need to. 2:34 What this also allows you to do as the administrator is to share certain albums between different members of your storefront or customer. 2:41 So, for example, I'm logged in as a storefront administrator right now. On my top level, I can go to the albums and share this with certain subsets of my customers, whether it be certain customer roles, I can have it available for certain products if necessary, so it only, uhm, is applicable to certain 3:01 products, that particular folder. I can have it assigned to categories. I can have it assigned to people within a certain department, and so on. 3:07 So, let's talk a bit about why this is useful. So, this feature is incredibly handy for organization, so it allows you to keep your assets grouped by project, product, type, quality, etc. 3:29 And so, any other category that makes sense for your business. You've got sharing and permissions. So, if you work with a team of clients, you can share entire albums or specific folders with roles, categories, products, or even a department within your organization. 3:46 That way, only the right people can access and use those particular assets. You've got fast access to editors. See you. 3:53 If you have a storefront offering design tools like mega edit, your customers can quickly pull images from shared albums directly into their product designs. 4:03 And then you've got scalability. So, as your asset library grows, the system supports advanced search pagination of multi-level folders. So, you never lose track of the files that are important to you your customers. 4:16 So what's next? There is a another series of tutorials dedicated to setting up and utilising these particular features. It's not too complicated, so they'll be quite short tutorials focusing on different areas each. 4:32 So, thanks for joining me for this quick introduction. I hope you're excited to see what album management can do for you and your team.
