New features 🆕


The following new features were released to enhance your experience:

• Libraries: Required metadata
  Owners and editors can now define which metadata properties must be completed on assets to improve discoverability and search result quality for end users. Discover more in this help article.

• Libraries: Sort custom metadata properties
  Using drag-and-drop, you can now adjust the sort order of custom metadata property to your heart's content. This sort will be reflected immediately for metadata editing and consumer library page views.

• Libraries: Rename property options
  Renaming options for single- and multi-select metadata properties provide extra flexibility. Quickly correct a typo instead of having to delete the option and create a new one. Simply click on the option name to edit it.

• Libraries: Add help text to custom metadata properties
  Providing editors with more context for a custom metadata property is now possible thanks to help text. Add a short text below the property to guide editors in filling in appropriate values.

• Libraries: Preview custom metadata properties from the management area
  Understanding what the custom metadata will look like to an editor is a piece of cake in the new metadata management area. The preview section to the right of the property set-up clearly displays the metadata and allows the user to test it before saving changes.

• Libraries: Bulk adjust asset download protection
  Set or change one or more assets' download protection settings directly from the library overview in the new editing sidebar. Simply select the assets you want to change the settings for, open the settings tab of the right-hand editing sidebar, and toggle the download protection setting of your choice.

• Libraries: Bulk edit asset titles and descriptions
  Save clicks and extra navigation into single assets by editing the asset titles and descriptions in bulk. From the asset overview of your library, you can select the assets you wish you give the same description or title to and add this information in the bulk editing sidebar.

• Integrations: SharePoint
  Connect Microsoft SharePoint with your Frontify libraries and projects and start using Frontify assets within the SharePoint sites. Get more info here.

• Integrations: Highspot
  Empower content creators to craft on-brand sales enablement materials by pulling visuals from your Frontify libraries into your Highspot environment. Share with your customers and prospects the latest decks and visuals. Get more info here.

Improvements 🛠️

This week, we crushed these bugs to give you a better experience:

• Libraries: Custom metadata multi-select property with a long list of options works correctly and is not cut off anymore.

• Libraries: Licenses, in the consensus modal, are now sorted the way users sorted them in the library settings.

• Libraries: We are now able to recognize conditional facets when it's based on the default document category facet.

• Document Library: We added a consistent way to remove facets type document_category.

• Digital & Print Templates: We removed overly strict usage permission for image collections in the image gallery that prevented some users from using the images.

• Digital & Print Templates: A "0" as the only content in a text field is now rendered normally in the export. Before, the text field was considered empty.

• Digital & Print Templates: We fixed an issue in our external data feature: now the search in the table where you can select the data works fine.
