On this page, you can find things to be aware of with the Digizuite™ Office Connector (from now on OC).
Mac limitation
The OC has the following limitation for Mac users:
- A Mac user must always save an Office document as a new asset in the DC the first time it is saved in a session. After this initial save, the document can be replaced in the same session.
A session is started when the OC is opened, and a session is stopped when the OC or the Office application is closed.
The following use-case describes this limitation in more detail:
- Find an existing Office document in MM (e.g. a Word document).
- Open the existing document.
- Open OC in the local Office application (e.g. Word), which has just been opened.
- Make changes to the document.
- Save the document with the OC - on Mac, the existing document in the DC can not be replaced but only saved as a new asset.
Upload/save functionality

It is not possible to save PowerPoint templates (".potx") with the OC. Thus, if the OC is opened when working on a PowerPoint template (".potx"), and the document is saved with the OC, it will be saved as a regular PowerPoint document (".pptx"). The templates will be saved for Word and Excel.
Asset info in previews
The asset information that is shown in previews (see 2.2.2 Quick asset information) can be configured by editing the Digizuite_System_Framework_AssetInfo search.
It is possible to include a Media Manager link for all assets in the preview information. This can be done by giving the base URL of the Digizuite™ Media Manager 5 to redirect to in the "MM5 base URL"-configuration field from the DC.
