When content is discussed, everyone often imagines just text. However, most content would be far from effective without a proper visual segment.Images, videos, and downloadable files like PDFs, are vital in presenting information online. These files are your assets.
Choose your preferred approach
The first thing to do is to pick the right asset management solution. With Kontent.ai, you can choose between two approaches to your asset library:
Built-in asset library
Third-party digital asset management (DAM)
The built-in asset approach is great because you use tools native to Kontent.ai, store everything in Kontent.ai, and don't need integrate and manage any other service. This is a good way to go, or at least start, as migrating your assets elsewhere later is always an option with Kontent.ai.The third-party asset management approach is the way to go if your requirements exceed the functionality of Kontent.ai’s native asset management. You can also combine the approaches.See our guide on asset management in Kontent.ai to make an informed decision.
Model your assets when modeling content
If you have a lot of assets, you likely want to clearly organize them and possibly add more metadata to them. You can do that for assets in both the asset library and in a third-party DAM.
