What this module is for

Upload, review, approve, archive, and attach media to products.

Use this page when you need to complete the task yourself and understand what each action changes. The steps name the relevant screen, explain why the action belongs in the workflow, and state what to verify before moving on.

Before you start

  • Sign in with a role that can view or change the records in this guide.
  • Have the product, file, channel, or workspace information ready before starting an action that saves data.
  • Use a small test record or file first when an action affects multiple products or a connected channel.

The list confirms that product data, status, filters, and bulk actions are available.

1. Add media

Complete these actions in order. They describe the screen to use, the decision to make, and the evidence to check before you move to the next stage.

  1. Step 1.1

    Do this: Open Media Library and upload the files required for the catalog.

    Why this matters: This keeps the add media work traceable and makes the next review, validation, or handoff easier to complete.

    Check before continuing: Look for a confirmation message, a newly created record, or a job status entry. If nothing changes, read the inline field error or job detail before retrying.

  2. Step 1.2

    Do this: Review the asset details and status, then attach the file to the appropriate product in its Media tab.

    Why this matters: This keeps the add media work traceable and makes the next review, validation, or handoff easier to complete.

    Check before continuing: Confirm that the named screen or panel is visible and contains the expected values. If a control is missing, check your workspace role before continuing.

  3. Step 1.3

    Do this: Check whether a channel requires a specific image role or format before export.

    Why this matters: This keeps the add media work traceable and makes the next review, validation, or handoff easier to complete.

    Check before continuing: Confirm that the named screen or panel is visible and contains the expected values. If a control is missing, check your workspace role before continuing.

2. Govern the library

Complete these actions in order. They describe the screen to use, the decision to make, and the evidence to check before you move to the next stage.

  1. Step 2.1

    Do this: Filter or select assets to review them in batches.

    Why this matters: This keeps the govern the library work traceable and makes the next review, validation, or handoff easier to complete.

    Check before continuing: Confirm that the named screen or panel is visible and contains the expected values. If a control is missing, check your workspace role before continuing.

  2. Step 2.2

    Do this: Use Approve for accepted assets and Archive for files that should leave active use.

    Why this matters: This keeps the govern the library work traceable and makes the next review, validation, or handoff easier to complete.

    Check before continuing: Look for a confirmation message, a newly created record, or a job status entry. If nothing changes, read the inline field error or job detail before retrying.

  3. Step 2.3

    Do this: Recheck products after archiving an asset so their required media remains complete.

    Why this matters: This keeps the govern the library work traceable and makes the next review, validation, or handoff easier to complete.

    Check before continuing: Confirm that the named screen or panel is visible and contains the expected values. If a control is missing, check your workspace role before continuing.

Events and statuses to watch

Actions such as saving, importing, exporting, connecting, publishing, and approving can either update a record immediately or create background work. Wait for the on-screen confirmation and then check the relevant list, detail view, or job status before repeating an action.

  • Saved or created: confirm the record appears with the intended values.
  • Queued, running, or processing: wait for completion and open the job or event detail if progress stops.
  • Failed, partial, rejected, or blocked: read the specific message, correct the source data or permissions, then retry only the affected work.
