P4 DAM 2025.3 release notes

Released: July 2025

Before you install or upgrade

P4 DAM is built on top of Perforce TeamHub. Installing or upgrading P4 DAM uses Perforce TeamHub packages. Upgrading is usually a zero-downtime operation and can be performed on a live system.

Before you upgrade to P4 DAM 2025.3, you must be using P4 DAM 2025.2. For detailed instructions, see Upgrade instructions.

View wireframes in 3D models

You can now view wireframes in 3D models to better understand shape and structure. Choose from three display options: Off, X-Ray, and Shaded. You can also change the color of the wireframe.

To learn more, see View 3D model wireframes.

View vertex color in 3D models

If you use vertex colors in 3D models in your workflow, you can now toggle the vertex color display on or off.

To learn more, see View 3D model vertex coloring.

Duplicate asset bundles

You can now duplicate an asset bundle to create a new version that includes the same items as the original bundle.

To learn more, see Duplicate an asset bundle.

Sketch on previews of Adobe Photoshop assets to provide clear visual feedback

You can now add sketches to comments on previews of Adobe Photoshop (.psd) assets to give clear visual feedback. Use the pen, highlighter, and shape tools, and change the sketch color and size.

You can also show or hide sketches for individual comments to focus on specific feedback.

To learn more, see Add sketches to comments on 2D images and 3D models.

Create asset reviews to control which assets appear on the Kanban board

You can now create a review on an asset before the asset appears on the Kanban board. This gives you control over which assets appear on the board, instead of all assets appearing automatically.

To learn more, see Create asset reviews.

Add descriptions to assets and asset bundles

You can now add a description to an asset and an asset bundle to help others understand its purpose.

To learn more, see View asset details and metadata.

View 2D and 3D technical specification details

You can now view technical information about an asset to help you understand specific details, such as:

  • 2D assets – Details for pixel resolution and the power of 2 status.

  • 3D assets – Details for values related to geometry, structure, and visuals.

This feature requires P4 Search 2025.2.1 or later.

To learn more, see View asset details and metadata.

Upgrade instructions

You must be using P4 DAM 2025.2 to upgrade to 2025.3. If you are using an earlier version, you must first upgrade to P4 DAM 2025.2.

If you have MongoDB configured to use authentication, follow these instructions:

  1. Before upgrading the TeamHub package, run the following command on Standard or DB nodes (replace adminuser/adminpass with the MongoDB admin credentials):

    /opt/hth/embedded/bin/mongosh --username adminuser --password adminpass --port 4002 --eval 'db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "7.0", confirm: true } )'

  2. Verify the featureCompatibilityVersion is reported as version 7.0:

    /opt/hth/embedded/bin/mongosh --username adminuser --password adminpass --port 4002 --eval "db.adminCommand( { getParameter: 1, featureCompatibilityVersion: 1 } )"

  3. Create the version file and then proceed with upgrading TeamHub:

    echo 7.0 > /var/opt/hth/db/mongodb-fcv

    Now you have run the steps, you can upgrade P4 DAM. See Upgrade.

If you do not have MongoDB configured to use authentication, see Upgrade.
