Digital Asset Management

Keep asset versions, approvals and rights together

Give owners the version history and usage information they need to review product media before reuse.

Walk through it All capabilities

The capability

A new upload still needs review

Product media changes over time, and usage rights may differ between assets. Teams need to distinguish a new upload from an approved version.

Autonera brings asset versions, approvals and rights information into the governed library. Rights and readiness gates support publishing, while people review terms and resolve exceptions.

Recorded expiry information supports owner review. It does not imply that files already hosted by external channels are automatically removed or replaced.

Problems it solves

Where this work usually breaks down

01

Unclear approval status

Teams struggle to distinguish pending media from approved content.

02

Disconnected licence information

Usage terms are stored separately from the asset.

03

Lost revision context

Owners need to understand which file replaced an earlier version.

In industrial operations

A manufacturer reviews replacement photography

An updated product image needs approval and its licence terms need checking.

  1. Add the new asset version.
  2. Record its usage information.
  3. Have the owner review and approve it.
  4. Coordinate any external replacement with the channel owner.

Result: The team can distinguish approved media from pending versions and review the relevant terms.

Buyer FAQs

Questions evaluators ask

What happens when a licence expires?

Owners can review recorded expiry information and determine the required action. This page does not promise automatic removal from external channels.

Does a new upload become approved automatically?

New versions can require approval before replacing an accepted asset.

Does the platform choose a historical version for every destination?

This guide describes version history, approvals and rights information, not an automatic channel-by-channel historical-version resolver.

Can images have renditions?

Yes. Supported image transformations create renditions; review the applicable usage terms before distribution.

How do publishing controls fit?

Publishing jobs apply rights and readiness gates, with review of exceptions by the responsible people.
