Select Assets from Censhare: This choice is only available in case your company has enabled the Censhare Connector. Learn more about this connector here: Marmind - Censhare Integration Overview
Upload new: Upload a file from your computer via drag and drop or file picker.
Add external link: Add a URL pointing to an asset stored online (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, image URLs).
Create placeholder asset: Create an asset entry without uploading a file (useful for planning or reserving space in workflows).

Step 3: Avoid Duplicate Uploads - only available with the Censhare integrator

The automated duplicate check is only available for customers who are working with Censhare and have enabled the Marmind and Censhare integrator.

Marmind automatically checks for duplicates using a file hashcode.
If a duplicate is found, you’ll be prompted to reuse the existing asset or proceed with the upload anyway. If more than one duplicate is found and the user wants to reuse an existing duplicate, they must review the assets and select which one from the duplicates to use.

Step 4: Edit Asset Properties

After uploading:

Click on the asset to open the preview window.
You can edit:
- Asset name
- Description
- Tags
- Categories
- Linked campaigns or products

Best Practice

Use tags and categories to improve asset findability.
Name assets clearly with version numbers or usage context (e.g., “Summer23_Campaign_Banner_v2”).
Review and update unused or outdated assets regularly.
