In short, an asset is the representation of a digital file in CELUM Content. Assets are created when you upload files to CELUM Content. They always have an asset type which determines their metadata, and they can be downloaded again in different formats as well as distributed to connected systems.
Not all asset types can be used by all users of CELUM Content. Equally, not all users can execute all actions on assets. The permissions are either determined by the user's own type or by the collection that the asset is linked to.
You can see all assets in the currently selected collection in the asset list in the Explore View or the result list of the Advanced Search. There, you can select assets and execute actions on them.
The lightbox enables you to accelerate your content flows by creating ad-hoc collections of content from various parent collections. It is located at the lower edge of the Explore View and Advanced Search, and you can expand, collapse, and resize it:
Inside the lightbox, you can select assets, open the context menu or magic menu for them and execute actions for which you have permission. Your permissions inside the lightbox reflect your permissions inside the respective asset's parent collection.
If you lose access to an asset currently in your lightbox, then the lightbox refreshes on your next page refresh or login, and the asset is removed from it then.
Simply add assets via drag-and-drop or the "Add to lightbox" context menu entry. Newly added assets are added at the front of the list.
At maximum, there can be 200 objects inside the Lightbox.
To remove selected content from the lightbox, simply click on the "Remove selected objects" or "Remove all" action in the top right corner of the lightbox. Additionally, you can use the "Remove from lightbox" action in the context menu or magic menu for a selected asset.
