Welcome to Collage, your cloud-based digital asset management (DAM) platform. This quick tour orients you to the two things you'll use most: the Dashboard (your central hub) and the sidebar navigation on the left. Once you know where things live, storing, finding, and sharing assets takes just a few clicks.
Sign in first
If you haven't logged in yet, head to Logging in to Collage. After a successful login you'll land on the Dashboard.
Your Dashboard at a glance
The Dashboard is your central hub for managing digital assets. It's divided into a few key areas:
- Search bar — at the top of every page. Search across assets, Collages, and folders; results appear as you type, grouped by type, and your recent searches show when you click into it.
- Quick actions — buttons along the top for New Asset, New Collage, and New Folder (you'll only see the ones your role allows). If any assets were uploaded without a folder, a banner at the top of the page tells you how many — click it to open them and file them away.
- Recents — your recent Collages and folders, on separate Collages and Folders tabs. Folders show how many assets they hold. A lock icon (labeled Restricted when you hover over it) means the item isn't visible on any of your portals.
- Last 7 Days — your team's activity over the past week, with tabs for Viewed, Added, Downloaded, and Shared. Hover over a bar for that day's count. Some tabs may require a plan upgrade.
- Recently Added — your latest assets, each with a thumbnail, name, upload date, folder, and file type. Click View all to browse every asset.
Navigate with the sidebar
The left-hand sidebar takes you anywhere in Collage. At the top:
- New — create a new asset, Collage, or folder.
- Dashboard — your central hub.
- Collages — curated groupings of assets.
- Folders — the folder tree where assets live.
- Sharing — share links you've created.
- Portals — your branded distribution sites.
Lower down:
- Notifications — recent account activity.
- Trash — deleted items, recoverable for a limited time.
- Profile / Settings — click your avatar to switch workspaces, open Account Settings (admins) or User Profile, or log out.
At the very bottom, below a divider:
- Help / Support — send feedback or report a problem to the Collage team. See Submitting feedback or a bug report.
