To see a preview of a digital asset
| 1 | Log in to the Admin console. |
| 2 | Choose Assets from the navigation pane. |
The Assets page displays. The digital asset hierarchy appears under Directory.
| 3 | Do one of the following: |
| • | Use the Directory hierarchy to locate the asset you want to preview. Refer to Navigating the digital asset hierarchy for information about navigating to a particular directory node and digital asset. |
| • | Use Search Assets by Name to find the assets (for more information, see Searching for assets). |
| 4 | Move the mouse cursor so the cursor hovers over the name of an asset. |
The name of the asset is highlighted. One of the following happens.
| • | If the digital asset has a defined Internet Media Type of “image,” a preview image (thumbnail) of the asset appears. |
| • | If the digital asset has a defined Internet Media Type other than “image,” and no preview image is available for the asset, the asset’s media type icon displays. For example, if the digital asset is a text file, a text file icon displays. |
| • | If the digital asset’s media type is not defined, no preview image is available for the asset, the asset is a URL, or no digital asset is attached to the metadata, the “No Preview Available” message appears. |
Note: If you want to view details for the highlighted asset, choose the name of the asset. (See Viewing details of a digital asset for more information.)
