This is an example of items in different states inside the link manager:
An icon in the lower right corner of the asset card indicates the asset's state. Hovering the cursor above this icon will show more info.
There are seven types of states across three color-coded categories:
Green states
For these, all items are correct statues; no actions required
Visual representation | Icon description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 | Green checkmark | Why one hits this state: The user has either inserted the asset themselves or has resolved all issues e.g. using the link manager. Message in the system: ‘Locally linked and DAM linked’. Digizuite asset is both locally linked and DAM linked. No action is required. |
Yellow states
For these, the problem can be automatically corrected in the link manager
Visual representation | Icon description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 | Yellow upload | Why one hits this state: This happens when the user inserted a file from the local source. Message in the system: ‘Upload asset to Digizuite DAM'. Local asset that can be uploaded to the DAM. Available action: ‘Upload’. |
 | Yellow warning | Why one hits this state: This happens when the user has a file embedded in the document. Message in the system: ‘Digizuite content is embedded'. Digizuite asset is embedded. Available action: ‘Unembed’. |
 | Yellow clock | Why one hits this state: If the asset has been replaced (updated) in the DAM. Message in the system: ‘Digizuite asset is outdated'. Digizuite asset was replaced in the system. Available action: ‘Relink’. |
 | Yellow link | Why one hits this state: The asset does not have files in the local cache (storage). Message in the system: ‘Digizuite content is unlinked'. The link is broken, which means that the local path on the user’s computer cannot be found, but the asset is uploaded to the DAM. Available action: ‘Relink’. |
Red states
For these, the problem cannot be resolved automatically in the link manager
Visual representation | Icon description | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
 | Red warning (1) | Why one hits this state: The item is embedded in the document. Message in the system: ‘Local content is embedded, please unembed to use asset inside the link manager'. The user needs to unembed the local asset before taking an action within the connector, e.g. upload the active document to the DAM. |
 | Red warning (2) | Why one hits this state: The asset does not have files in the local cache (storage) and it’s not uploaded to the DAM. Message in the system: 'Cannot find local content'. The link to local content is broken and needs to be relinked through InDesign’s ‘Links’ panel before it is possible to take any action in the connector. |
 | Red upload | Why one hits this state: The asset can no longer be found in the DAM system. Message in the system: ‘The asset was deleted from the DAM'. The asset is no longer in the DAM system and therefore cannot be relinked. |
