How to bulk upload content to your library

When creating your content and design libraries, there are some useful techniques and tools that can help when bulk uploading content. 

There are many options for uploading content to the library 

Basic save (for a presentation, selected slides, single objects or multiple objects)
  • Open the file that contains the asset(s) you want to upload to the library

  • Select the required object(s)/slide(s)

  • Select the save option: Presentation, slide, selected slides, single object, multiple objects

  • Select Save as (to avoid accidental overwrites) 

  • Select the destination folder (match the asset type to the correct folder and ensure you have Editor or Author permissions to upload)

  • Name the asset (ensure the name is clear and useful for searching)

Tips for naming: 

    • Use alphabetical ordering intentionally by controlling names.
    • Keep related items together by using consistent naming patterns.
    • Use prefixes or symbols for frequently used items so they appear near the top of the list.

Note: Objects can be named after upload if needed but this can be a slow process). Using the Web Library version can be quicker for this action. 

Bulk saving

Use the bulk upload option when you need to add many icons, images, or similar assets.

  • Name the objects in the Selection Pane before uplooading

  • Review the default object names shown in the pane.

  • Rename each object to something meaningful and searchable.

  • Add additional useful search terms in the object name where appropriate.

  • Use the Alt Text field to add extra searchable terms when helpful.

  • After renaming select all the objects you want to upload from the Selection Pane, clicking (selecting) from the bottom upward while holding Ctrl to preserve the correct names and correct order.
  • Choose Save and then select Multiple Objects.
