Share Assets Externally

Manage Externally Shared Assets

When you enable external sharing for one or more assets, a URL is generated for the original rendition of the asset. The URL refers to the location of the asset on the external content delivery server. If you update the asset or upload a new version, the URL remains unchanged and refers to the latest version of the original rendition of the asset.

However, if you replace the original rendition or upload a new version of the asset with an unsupported file type, external sharing is automatically disabled for the asset. Currently, only image file formats are supported.

If you delete an asset, or the asset expires, external sharing is disabled and the URL is inaccessible.

Click Advanced Filter to filter assets that are enabled or disabled for external sharing. In the External Sharing section, select the check box next to Yes to filter assets that are enabled for external sharing.
