Updating assets in collections

If you have changes to an asset you want to share in Helix DAM, you can replace the asset in a collection to update it.

Tip

When an asset is locked in Helix Core Server, the asset is also locked in Helix DAM. Locked assets display a lock icon by the asset name. See Locked assets.

When you update an asset, the previous version is still available in Helix DAM and the asset version number increments by one. Earlier versions of the asset are still available if you need them. See Viewing asset versions.

  1. Make sure the new version of the asset has the same file name as the asset it is replacing in the collection.
  2. Follow the steps in Adding assets to collections to replace the existing version.
