Selecting Assets

To perform most bulk actions across multiple assets, you must select assets and use the Selection bar actions. 

Selecting assets

Assets may be selected by:

• Using the button where it appears over an asset's thumbnailor on its detail page. 
• Dragging the cursor across a gallery. 
• Selecting all assets in a gallery using its header action menu, and choosing Add all to selection.

The selection bar

From left to right:

• The X button will clear your selection. Remember to click this after performing an action if you want to create a new selection.
• A count of currently selected assets.
• View all navigates you to a gallery of the selected assets.
• Download will download all selected assets to your local storage location.
• Collect begins a collection action.
• Share initiates a share action.
• The action menu.

Action menu

Top to bottom:

• Create a PDF with your selection.
• Edit attributes will open the grid editor, where you can granularly edit the attributes for the selection.
• Set an expiration date for the selection's assets.
• Export your selection's attributes.
• Find/Replace will allow you to replace text attribute values across your selection.
• Organize will allow you to move or add assets to a new folder location, or remove them from a folder they already exist in. 
• Resync will resync the assets in the selection. 
• Create or remove any relationships which may exist between the selected assets.
• Repurpose the selected assets; note that manual repurposing will not be available from a selection, and asset types must be repurposed individually – e.g. audio files being repurposed separately from image files in the selection.
• Create a review, or add the selected assets to a new review. Note that only image assets may be used in reviews.
• Set the selected asset's visibility for non-administrator users; if they are set to invisible non-administrators will not be able to view the assets in any context. 
• Delete the entire selection. This cannot be undone.
