In order to experience the full functionality of the Digizuite Adobe CC Connector, the user needs to obtain a license key and then register the product. If the product is not registered, the following message will appear upon opening InDesign/Photoshop/Illustrator:
The limited version of the product supports using only up to 3 unique assets in a document.
The user can register the product at a later time, by clicking the "Digizuite" tab at the top of the application window, and selecting "Activate".
The user can then input the license key in the following window:

Digizuite Adobe CC Connector can be opened in one of the following ways:
- in the start workspace: by clicking "Start" → "Advanced"
- when any document is open: by clicking "Window" → "Extensions" → "Digizuite Adobe CC Connector"
Adobe CC Connector can be either docked to the side as any other toolbox in the Adobe CC environment or moved freely as an independent window.
Logging in/logging out

Logging in using SSO credentials:

When the user opens a document in Photoshop, Illustrator, or InDesign, a login window for the connector should automatically appear.
If the user has closed the login window, or if it doesn't appear, the user should click the menu burger button in the upper right corner, and then select "Log In" to make the window re-appear.
When the login window appears, the user is presented with two login options:
- 1. (Blue) Login directly using the Digizuite credentials, or
- 2. (Green) Login using SSO
Logging in using the Digizuite credentials (Blue)
If the user chooses to log in using the Digizuite credentials, the following information need to be filled in:
- API URL: The CCC's website - an example of this could be "https://ccc.mycompany.com". Whether the user appends a "/" at the end of the URL is redundant. Historically, the user had to add a "/dmm3bwsv3" suffix, however this is not needed anymore.
- Username: Digizuite username
- Password: Digizuite password.
Now the user needs to simply click the "Login" button or use the Enter key.
Logging in using the SSO credentials (Green)
The user needs to fill in the API URL - the same one as they would use in "Logging in using the Digizuite credentials". however, this information need to be placed in the area marked in green in the screenshot above.
Once the user has provided the API URL, they need to click the "Log In With SSO" button. The user should not press the Enter key, as it will simply close the prompt (logging in using your Digizuite credentials will be attempted instead).
| Info |

If the user fills out the API URL with an invalid link - or the site is currently down, no feedback from the login prompt will be received. Moreover, the user should be aware that in some instances it is necessary to click the "Log In With SSO" button twice: the first time for logging in to SSO in the browser, and the second time, for logging in in the connector itself. If an issue arises due to another person having used the same computer (meaning that their SSO user is logged in on the browser), this can be amended by clearing up the cookies and then clearing the sessions. In Chrome this can be done by:

Digizuite’s Adobe Creative Cloud Connector is available through Adobe’s plugin exchange here - https://exchange.adobe.com/creativecloud.details.107968.digizuite-connector.html.
Simply click on “Install” and the plugin will be installed through your Creative Cloud Connector application. A restart of your Adobe Applications is required before the plugin can be accessed.
Location of the connector in the interface
The Creative Cloud Connector is installed as an extension, and therefore can be opened in the same way as any other extension used in the products in the Adobe Creative Cloud products.
For example, in InDesign, it is found under Window → Extensions → Digizuite™.
In other instances, it is sometimes found under Window → Extensions (legacy) → Digizuite™
The connector will open inside a panel, and can be docked the same way as any other panel.
First start
The first time you activate the Creative Cloud Connector, you will be asked to enter the URL for Digizuite™ Media Manager.
You should already have been given this URL by your Digizuite contact person. Simply input it, and press Continue to reveal the login screen.
Please note that this is a one-time occurrence, and that next time you open the extension, it will have remembered your URL.
If you wish to change your Creative Cloud Connector's URL, you can do so from the context menu, under Settings.
Logging in
The connector offers two methods of logging in: with Digizuite user credentials or through single sign-on (SSO).
Logging in using credentials
In order to log in using your ordinary Digizuite credentials, please provide the username and password and then click Log in.
In order to log out, click on the three dots in the upper right of the connector's panel and select Sign Out.
Please note that only non-SSO users can sign out this way.
Logging in using SSO
First of all you need to make certain that your Digizuite DAM has been set up to allow for logins through SSO. When this is in order, your can do the following:
Click the Login with SSO button.
The pop-up shown below will appear with two options available. If you select Open external login screen, external browser window will open automatically. Alternatively, you can manually copy the provided url and paste it in a browser.
Once the url is opened, you should now be automatically redirected to your organization's login screen.
Log in to your organization, and you should now be logged in to the Creative Cloud Connector as well.

Changing the current site
It’s possible to change the site url in one of two ways, dependent on whether the user is logged in to the connector or not.
Scenario 1: the user is not logged in to the DACCC
When the Change site? button in the lower left corner of the dialog has been clicked, the user will be re-directed to another dialog to change the current site url to a new one.
The current site url will be displayed.
When the url has been changed to the new one, then the Save button can be clicked and the Creative Cloud Connector panel will reload to display the results from the new site.
If the newly provided site url is invalid, a warning dialog will be prompted:
Scenario 2: the user is logged in to the DACCC
When you are logged in to the CCC, you can change the site url from clicking the Change base url button in the menu and the following dialog will be displayed:
