Uploading

Please read through the following documentation to understand how to upload assets.

Overview

Uploading is one possible way to get new files into the system, and once done your files become managed assets in iconik. The uploader is available either from the main upload tab or from different sections of the application for different use cases.

Our uploader is contextual, it understands whether you are just trying to upload new files, or whether you want to add new versions of an asset, upload subtitles/captions, proxy files and new formats to existing assets. On top of that you can also upload into collections For some of the use cases for these please see the additional document under Asset files administration
