Summary

Browse Product Assets

The asset gallery lets you browse, preview, and download assets from the asset collections attached to a product. This article explains how to navigate the asset gallery and download assets.

From a product details page, click on the Medias & files tab to open the asset gallery.

Asset Display

Assets are displayed as thumbnail cards in a responsive grid. Each asset card shows:

  • Thumbnail: A preview of the asset (image thumbnail, video thumbnail, or PDF icon).
  • Asset label: The name of the asset.

View Modes

You can switch between two view modes using the toggle in the top right corner of the asset gallery:

  • Grid view: Assets displayed as thumbnail cards in a grid layout.
  • List view: Assets displayed in a table format with additional details. In list view, each row includes a download button for quick access.

Filter Assets

The asset gallery provides several ways to narrow down the assets displayed. Filters are configured by your administrator and may include the following options.

Filter by asset family

If your product has assets from multiple asset families, use the Asset families filter in the sidebar to show only assets from specific families.

  1. In the filter sidebar, locate the Asset families section.
  2. Click on one or more family names to toggle them on or off.
  3. The gallery updates to show only assets from the selected families.

Filter by media type

Use the Media type filter to narrow assets by their file type:

  • Image: Photos, illustrations, and other image files.
  • PDF: PDF documents such as technical sheets, catalogs, or manuals.
  • Video: Video files.
  1. In the filter sidebar, locate the Media type section.
  2. Click on one or more media types to filter the gallery.

Filter by asset attributes

Depending on your configuration, additional filters based on asset attributes may be available in the sidebar (for example, filtering by a season, usage rights, or any other attribute defined on the asset family).

Search within assets

Use the search field at the top of the asset gallery to find specific assets by name.

  1. Type your search term in the search field.
  2. The gallery updates in real time to show only assets matching your search.

Group Assets

You can organize how assets are displayed using the grouping options in the asset gallery. Two grouping modes are available:

  • Group by media type: Assets are grouped into sections by their file type (images, videos, PDFs, and other files).
  • Group by asset family: Assets are grouped into sections by the asset family they belong to (for example, "Packshots", "Lifestyle", or "Technical Documents").

Select a grouping mode from the grouping control above the asset gallery to switch between views. Select "No grouping" to return to the default flat list.

Preview Assets

Click on any asset card to open a full-screen preview. The preview behavior depends on the asset type:

  • Images: Displayed at full size in the preview area.
  • Videos: Play directly in the preview with video controls.
  • PDFs: Rendered inline so you can read the document directly.

The preview panel also displays asset details in a sidebar on the right, including the asset label, family, and additional media thumbnails if the asset has multiple files.

If an asset contains multiple media files, you can navigate between them:

  • Click on the media thumbnails in the sidebar to switch between files.
  • Use the left arrow and right arrow keyboard keys to navigate.
  • Press Escape to close the preview.

Download Assets

Download a single asset

There are several ways to download a single asset:

  • From the preview: Open the asset preview and click the download button (down arrow icon) in the top right corner of the preview area.
  • From list view: In list view, click the download button on the asset row.

Select and download multiple assets

To download several assets at once:

  1. Select assets by clicking on the checkbox on each asset card. Only images and PDFs can be selected for download.
  2. To quickly select all visible assets, click the Select all button above the asset gallery.
  3. A banner appears at the bottom of the screen showing the number of selected assets.
  4. Click the Download button in the banner to start the download.

A progress bar shows the download status as the assets are packaged for download.

Clear selection

To deselect all assets, click the clear button in the selection banner at the bottom of the screen, or click the Unselect all button above the gallery.

Note: If no assets are attached to the product, the Medias & files tab displays a message indicating that no media files were found.
