-
As a convenient way for an administrator to get an asset's UUID, it now displays in the UI as one of the attributes when viewing an asset in the Digital asset table.

New REST API endpoints enable programmatic management and interaction with folders. This enhancement aligns folder-related REST operations with existing UI capabilities, improving automation and integration potential. Most endpoints for POST, PUT, and Delete were previously available, but were refactored to accommodate folder-related actions. This release includes the addition of new endpoints were added for GET search and download:
-
/v1/folder/{dataspace}/{dataset}:search -
/v1/folder/download

-
Previously, the Drive screen only supported a grid view, limiting the amount of visible information per asset and number of assets displayed. Users needed to open asset previews or access the Version management tab to see more details. Now you can switch between Grid view and List view in the Drive screen. The new List view displays assets and folders in a table layout with extended details, offering improved information visibility without requiring additional clicks.
-
The file size limit for document previews was increased from 5MB to 20MB. Additionally, parts of the document can be previewed without waiting for the entire file to load.

To make it easier to find a tag when filtering assets in the Drive view, tags now display in alphabetical order.
-
A progress bar was added to communicate the real-time status when deleting and uploading assets. Additionally, individual assets now also display progress indicators during the upload process.
