Integrate LinkrUI for Microsoft Office

  • Updated

View LinkrUI assets

You can view your assets in thumbnail and list view. The view buttons are at the bottom right side of the panel.

The LinkrUI panel displays only assets supported by the application running LinkrUI.

It is not displayed if a specific file type is supported by the Optimizely Content Marketing Platform (CMP) library but not supported by the application running LinkrUI.

Thumbnail view

LinkrUI displays assets in thumbnail view by default, creating a visually intuitive approach to content discovery. On the thumbnail, you can see an asset preview and asset name. Hovering over the asset's thumbnail displays the file type and offers an actions menu button.

List view optimizes space and consolidates important asset information, including small previews, names and file types, at a glance.

  • Place – Use the selected asset as an item in the document or deck you are working on.
  • Open – Open the document or deck as its file.
  • New Version – Replace the CMP Digital Asset Manager (DAM) version with the active document or deck. 

Search

You can search your assets based on a search term. When you enter a search term, LinkrUI sends the search request to the DAM and retrieves the DAM search results back to LinkrUI. Use the search bar on the top of the panel to find assets.

Search results in LinkrUI are identical to those in the CMP DAM.
