What Adobe connector am I using?

Bynder has two similar available plugins to access your files from Adobe Creative Cloud applications:Bynder CC Connector and LinkrUI. They are distinct applications with varying features. This means that their licensing, use and troubleshooting will also be different.Therefore, knowing which one you are using will be crucial from managing license seats to resolving issues 💪 → Not sure which one would be ideal for you?Reach out to your CSM, who can help clarify which plugin best fits your needs. → Want to know which one you have installed?Navigate to Window > Extensions.Here it will show if you have Bynder CC Connector or LinkrUI installed. → Ready to use it, but not installed yet?Your CSM can clarify which one is included in your agreement. → License Key differences:Bynder CC Connector: number/letter hash. For ex: ABCDE-ABCDE-AB123-ABCDE-12345LinkrUI: six digits. For ex: 000000 → Differences in the UI: LinkrUI UI Bynder CC Connector  For extra info on either, the Knowledge-Base art

What role do assets play in Black Friday & Cyber Monday?

Hi everyone! In 2 weeks I’m doing a Retail focused podcast with OmniTalk, and it’s focused on the role your digital assets play in big Retail events, such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up. So I thought: who better to ask than some Bynder customers in that space who have lived and breathed these campaigns in the past, and may even be doing so right now for this year’s events!! There have to be some good stories and lessons learned over the years with this much collective knowledge. Please drop them in the comments!!

Pro tip: Switching from the Bynder managed SSO to self-service SSO

Are you looking for more ways to enhance your autonomous use of Bynder? Switch from the Bynder managed SSO configuration to our latest self-service SSO 👩‍💻Firstly, it empowers administrators to make changes themselves, rather than reaching out to Bynder Support (who will be available for assistance nonetheless). This not only reduces the implementation time, but also enhances the customisability afterwards.Furthermore, this gives you a lot of advantages, such as (but not limited to):Faster implementation time: access the settings yourself (or give your internal IT permissions to directly make changes) Multiple SSO clients aside of each other: configure SAML SSO, configure Google SSO, configure OpenID SSO Managing the Look & Feel of the login page Extra insights about successful and failed log in attempts with Troubleshooting Logs Setting up and testing, at the same time of keeping your current configuration in place, to prevent any downtime for your usersAs soon as you are happy

You can sync assets from a Cloud Storage service to Bynder, say what!?

Many of our customers have shared that cloud storage services like Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox are an integral part of their day-to-day processes. They have asked for a more seamless way to connect with these cloud-based storage services and simplify syncing of their assets. As a result, we have developed a connector for Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox. With these integrations, users can sync finalized assets from a chosen folder to Bynder for use across their organization. How does it work? Configuration is simple. Configure the connector from within Bynder’s settings, selecting the folder or folders to be served. When an asset is added to the folder or folders configured, it will be sent to the Waiting Room to await admin approval and assignment of metadata.What’s the result? Bynder continues to serve as your one source of truth for finalized assets.Time is the most precious asset we have, with this integration you will no longer have to manually download and then re-upload these a

AI, automation, & Bynder resources

There are a ton of AI technologies, albeit, most are very new and in beta, out there today. At Bynder, we’re approaching the use and implementation of AI to focus on the actual positive impact a particular AI technology can have on your day-to-day operations. Some things are not applicable for a DAM. For example, Adobe’s Firefly technology which utilizes generative visual AI to create content variations, are great for creative tools, but not for a DAM. We integrate very well with Adobe, therefore, once you create such assets, you can push them into our DAM using the integration, etc. At Bynder, automation and AI (that actually makes your life easier and saves you time) are integral to our products. But we’re not just throwing around AI for AI’s sake- we’re focused on the automations that streamline your workflows throughout the content lifecycle: Create, Manage, Distribute.Create: Studio automates asset creation, localization, and personalization with easy-to-use templates that exponen

Henry Stewart DAM NY Roll Call

Hi all! Who will be attending Henry Stewart DAM NY next week? The Bynder team will be there with a booth presence, a customer showcase session, as well as a spot in this year’s always-standing-room-only DAM Bake Off. I’ll be doing the customer showcase session alongside Meg Whitlock from popular footwear brand Steve Madden. Meg will be discussing, among other things, the value of once and for all getting off legacy technology and onto a best-in-breed DAM that’s across the Enterprise (and the learnings along the way). If you’re there, we hope you’ll attend. Who’s going? Drop a note here so we can be sure to connect.

LinkrUI: Integration FAQ's & Tips

Are you using any of the Adobe Creative Cloud products or Microsoft Office 365? This is intended to help you understand more about the LinkrUI integration and its capabilities. LinkrUI is a plugin for the Adobe Creative Suite connecting InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, and AfterEffects with both Bynder DAM and Webdam products.  Users are able to interface with their DAM directly through the Adobe Creative Cloud product.  Assets used in projects are synchronized from the DAM, eliminating the need for manual updates of layouts when changes happen.The plugin was created so that users can save time by editing metadata and tags from within Adobe CC and/or Microsoft Office 365, preventing workflows from being disrupted. You can streamline collaboration among teams by automatically finding and fixing broken links.For more information on how to install and enable the plugin, check the knowledge base article Adobe Creative Cloud Integration.How are you using LinkrUI?

Just Download Asset Metadata with the CSV Metadata Download Feature!

“Has this ever happened to you?” You want to view and use the metadata in your assets in outside of Bynder but when you go to download a CSV of your metadata it downloads the physical assets along with the metadata?  If the answer is yes, we understand how frustrating this can be. As an onboarding manager, I have heard from many customers asking about this and I’m sure many of you have as well. We are proud to say those days are over. That’s why we recently introduced the ability to download just the metadata information to a CSV without downloading the physical assets. Now, you can view the metadata of your assets via the comfort of the CSV you always wanted without having to constantly download the assets along with it. Downloading metadata of your assets can be useful in a number of ways. Some reasons I have seen customers download metadata of their assets are:For audit purposes. This can allow you to view the metadata of your assets in a clear, concise way via CSV to ensure data qu

User Management interface

Portal User Management UIThank you Bynder, for reworking the User Management interface. This is now far easier to work with.Interface remembers your fields Interface remembers your filtering optionsBefore these changes it was incredible difficult to use this and manage DAM users, if you wanted to edit a user and after you did so, returning back to the main page would reset the page to default removing all of your filters, you would have to reset them. eg. Status -Active/Inactive, Groups and Profile level.Another great improvement, keep it coming.

Introducing New Portal Theming Experience

Hi Bynder community 👋We are excited to announce a new feature that will give you more control over your portal's theming experience. We understand the importance of keeping your portal's look and feel on-brand, and until now, we have been involved in every custom theming request, and there was a cost associated with most of them.With our latest release, we are empowering you to make some changes yourself, without relying on us, and free of charge. We have built three self-service pages that will allow you to manage some elements of your theming experience for free. You can now upload and manage your theming fonts from the Font Manager Page, change primary and secondary colors, choose a font for your headers and body text from the Portal Theming Page, and even change the favicon of your portal from the Favicon Page.We understand that every brand is unique, and these three pages will allow you to personalize your portal to better represent your brand. Moreover, from these three pages yo

What you really need to know before your kick off with Bynder

As an Onboarding Manager, I work with a lot of teams in setting up their portals from the ground up. While we do make Onboarding as easy and even enjoyable as possible, it's also a collaborative effort between us and the client. As we always say--we will be the expert on all things Bynder, and your team will have to show up as the expert in all things related to your own assets, data, and restrictions.After a couple of years of working with clients day in and day out, here's what I've learned about what they should know and prepare for even before their kick off call:  Audit your assets. Even a quick audit of your assets would be helpful prior to starting your Onboarding process--just to give you an idea of what assets you have. This will later on help you determine what assets you want to keep in Bynder, and what assets could be stored elsewhere if needed. Knowing what assets you have will also give you a leg up in determining possible metadata and restrictions about your assets! Fi

In case you missed it, we recently launched an integration of generative AI into our Content Workflow tool to help accelerate creation of text content.Scale and efficiency has always been core to Bynder's value proposition and AI is just an extension of that - so we're excited and proud of this launch and how it will help our customers scale their content creation.

DAM vs. File Storage Solutions for Smaller Teams

Hi there - I’m Catherine and I lead our US Bynder Success Squad. We get a lot of questions about how DAM compares to file-sharing solutions like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box. This post covered some of the key differences. And here are a few other differences that are particularly relevant to customers with smaller teams:DAM is designed to minimize support requests: When you’re on a small marketing or brand team, or managing the DAM is only one of the many (many) hats you wear, minimizing the number of requests you get for assets is the dream! Through the use of structured data, DAMs are designed to help your users find what they need when they need it. Those users can use their own search terms and filtering to reach the right assets, and not have to rely on a rigid, predefined folder path. Groups & Restrictions: Permissioning and visibility restrictions are core to DAM, so you can have confidence that your teams have the right access to the right content. Via groups and restric

Did you know: you can access your DAM via a Chrome extension

You can now access Bynder’s UCV (Universal Compact View) via a Google Chrome extension. Here’s more info in the Knowledge Base. It brings your assets and collections (and derivatives!) to wherever you’re working without needing to switch to a separate browser to login and search for assets. It’s SO easy to set up- took me less than 20 seconds.
