Opening documents from Digizuite™ Media Manager 5

Office documents that are uploaded as assets in the Digizuite™ Media Manager can be opened directly from the asset card. To open the document, click ‘More’ on the document’s asset card and select ‘Open’. The document will load in the correct application. 

Lock functionality

It is possible to check out a document just like any other asset in the DAM.

The locked documents are marked with an "locked" icon.

To gain more information about check in/check out functionality and to see a video guide, please refer to this section in the Media Manager’s documentation.

Saving the asset to Digizuite™ Media Manager 5


The user can save an Office document to the Media Manager as a new asset.

Click on the ‘Menu’ icon in the upper right corner of the Office Connector application, then ‘Save’ and select ‘New asset’.


If the document the user is working on was opened from the DAM, there will be two possibilities for saving it after applying changes:

  1. If the user selects ‘New asset’ the old document will be preserved, and the document with the revisions applied to it will be saved as a new asset.

  2. If the user selects ‘Existing asset’ the old document will be replaced with the revised document.
