General
Installation
The Adobe Creative Cloud connector is now installed as part of the Media Manager installation.
When the Media Manager is installed, the Adobe Creative Cloud connector can be accessed by entering the Media Manager URL with /ccc appended in the end (PROTOCOL://MM-SITE/ccc).
Adobe Exchange
You can now install the Adobe Creative Cloud connector from Adobe Exchange.
The new plugin is called “Digizuite™ Connector for Adobe Creative Cloud” and supports version 5.8.0 and above
To install the Adobe Creative Cloud connector with version 5.6.0, you will need a Media Manager 5.6.0 and you will have to manually install the zxp file and NOT use the Adobe Exchange.
The old plugin “Digizuite™ Connector” will only support up to version 5.5.5
MacOS using M1 Chip
If you are using a MacOS with an M1 chip instead of an Intel, then you will notice changes in the Adobe products where a few things are missing, e.g., in the latest version of Photoshop, there is no “Extensions” section under the Windows Menu from where you can access your plugins and panels. This is now replaced by a drop-down menu labeled “plugins.”
This new update creates the issue where you cannot access the Digizuite Creative Cloud Connector plug-in out of the box.
To fix the issue, please follow the described steps below:
Open the applications folder in your M1 Mac
Open the specific application folder e.g., Photoshop
Right-click the application and select “Get info”
Then click on the option that reads “Open using Rosetta.”

From 5.7, as we advance, when users are not already editing Illustrator documents and inserting an asset image, a new document will be created, and the asset will be inserted into the document.

Local assets cannot be <Linked file> or <Image> since it will break the link manager.

Link Manager
The files within the link manager are smart objects and cannot be modified if they need to be visible in the link manager. However, assets within the active document can be manually converted into smart objects to be displayed in the link manager.
