Configure External Sharing

You can specify a default setting to enable external sharing of all the assets that you upload. If you enable external sharing by default, all of the asset files that you upload are accessible to an external audience when the assets are included in your content.

To enable the default setting for external sharing of assets:

  1. Click Administration Administrationthen select General. Click Assets in Application Settings.

  2. In the External Sharing section, enable external sharing by default for all the assets that you upload. The setting is in the disabled state by default.
    Note: If you do not want to enable external sharing for a specific asset or batch of assets, you can override the default setting when you perform the upload.

You can configure settings for the custom rendition types for the asset files that you upload. You can define one or more configurations for the custom renditions. In a configuration, you can specify one or more source file types and the resulting file type.
