The Media Collective Version 7.0 release last fall was big, as we brought about a new asset archive service, collaborative comments, mobile application and web CMS integrations.
Version 7.1 last winter was even bigger featuring asset-level analytics, video clipping and stylized collections to create public galleries and brand portals.
However, this version 7.2 release totally kicks ASSets! We’ve again raised the bar in SaaS DAM, as we deliver useful upgrades, innovations and integrations to help marketing and creative teams do what they do best.
Priorities of this release are to help creatives streamline workflows and improve productivity and to give marketers more control and visibility with content creation and distribution. Overall, we’re helping digital asset managers do a better job of putting assets to work, tracking engagement across the web and proving the value of their marketing content.
Highlights of the 7.2 release include:
- Dynamic links and enhanced embed codes for sharing images, videos and other files
- Creative tool integrations with AtTask, ProofHQ and InDesign
- Filtering by image orientation, watching assets from collections and a new archived assets search
- More administrative control with access to features and subscription information
- Uploading assets and create and manage collections with the mobile app

The Widen Media Collective version 7.2 release notes are as follows.
Feature Visibility
Administrators can explore new functionality at any time by enabling or disabling features on the Features page in the Admin area of their digital asset management (DAM) sites.
Access and Share Links and Embed Codes
All users can easily access links and embed codes to share with others from search results and other convenient locations. In addition:
- Links can be copied and pasted to quickly share assets with others
- Administrators can create and maintain embed code sizes for all users to access and users can create their own embed code sizes on the fly
- Links and embed code usage can be tracked across the web
Creative Integrations
The following integrations can be used to creatively and effectively manage projects:
- The AtTask integration searches DAM sites for assets to link to and use during collaboration and creation of projects
- Drag and drop assets from a DAM site directly to InDesign pages using the InDesign plugin from Silicon Publishing
- Collaborate, review and approve assets online and create business workflows using the ProofHQ integration. Approved assets will be automatically uploaded to DAM sites and can be distributed by sales teams and used immediately for marketing collateral and shared with vendors.
Upload and Create Collections Using the Mobile Application
The mobile app now allows users to upload assets to an upload profile from their mobile gallery and create collections using their mobile device or tablet.
User Interface Updates
- Search for archived assets using the Archived Asset Search
- Watch assets in collections from the Collection Details page
- Refine searches by horizontal, vertical or square orientation in the Refine Search panel and in the advanced search
- Choose a gallery type for stylized collections. The grid view option, which is the default option, is best for collections of documents and logos, while the image wall option is best for image-only collections.
