Sitecore Content Hub offers functionality to connect the DAM with the Sitecore Experience Platform or Cloud. Authors can browse DAM assets when selecting media items in the Sitecore Content Tree item image field. When an author selects "Browse Sitecore DAM," there are options available to choose from: "Approved Assets" and "Pending for Approval." According to business requirements, an additional option for "Collection" is needed, allowing authors to select assets directly from a Collection. Currently, the Sitecore Content Hub DAM connect page offers options for Pending Approval and Approved assets. To address the requirement for a Collection option, an additional tab for Collections will be added to the DAM Connect page. This change will allow users to select a collection and choose assets directly from it, instead of using only the asset search filter. In this blog post, I will outline the steps required to add th...

In a Digital Asset Management (DAM) system, a rendition refers to an alternative version of an original digital asset. This could mean: A different file format (e.g., converting a PNG to JPG) A different dimension, resolution, or size (e.g., resizing an image for web vs. print) A different color space or compression level (e.g., RGB vs. CMYK) For example, the marketing team needs the same product image for the Website (High Resolution), Mobile App (optimized size), and social media (specific aspect ratio). Instead of storing multiple copies of assets in different formats, the DAM module in Sitecore Content Hub provides the features to generate the renditions dynamically using media processing. This saves space and ensures consistency. Sitecore Content Hub by default provides server renditions under the media processing flow, which are Original, Metadata, PDF, Preview, Medium, Thumbnail, and Big Thumbnail. But if you want to create a cus...
