This guide will take you through the process of performing manual asset updates using Content Manager. Updates occur whenever new versions of assets installed on your system are uploaded to the DLS.

Set Up An Update Filter

Because this is something that you will probably be doing on a regular basis, it would be a good idea to create a CM filter to perform the task of searching for asset updates.

Steps.PNG Step 1: Open a Filter

You can now select and run this filter whenever you want to check for and install any asset updates.

Updating Assets "Installed From the DLS"

If you run your new filter and see one or more updated assets available for download that were "Installed from the DLS", then the process is very simple.

Update DLS01.png

Steps.PNG Steps:
  • select all the items shown in the list
  • right mouse click on any one of the items and select Download from the popup menu

Update DLS02.png

  • if the items have any new or updated dependencies that are also on the DLS then CM will automatically find and download them as well


Updating "Built in and Base Assets"

The above method will not work for updates to assets that are either Built in or Base. If CM lists updates for built in or base assets as available for download then the process involves a few extra steps.

Update Builtin01.png

Steps.PNG Steps:
Update Builtin02.png
  1. select all the Built in and Base items shown in the list
  2. right mouse click on any one of the items in the list. Note that the option Download is not available in the popup menu
  3. select the option List Asset Version


This will display all the available versions of the assets, those that are:-

  • on your system,
  • on the DLS, and
  • obsolete
