Organizing and Curating your Media Library
The final step in getting started with GLX is organizing your content library. A well-structured content library is essential for efficient management of your stories and seamless collaboration among team members. By effectively organizing your content, you make it easier for your team members to access, share, and collaborate on content, ultimately enhancing the overall content creation and distribution process.
To organize your content in GLX, follow these steps:
Create folders and subfolders to categorize your content assets logically, making it easy for team members to find and access the content they need.
Control sharing options by setting up permissions for folders and individual assets, ensuring that only authorized users can access the content.
Tag content with relevant keywords to improve searchability and help team members quickly locate the assets they require for their projects.
Utilize autogenerated transcriptions and custom tags to improve search.
Reorganize assets, folders, and subfolders as needed using the Media Library Move feature.
Here are some general tips for organizing your content assets:
Categorize: Group similar assets together in folders based on theme, topic, or type (e.g., images, meeting or event recordings, videos).
Use descriptive names: Label folders and files with clear, informative names that reflect their content.
Hierarchical structure: Create a logical hierarchy using subfolders, starting with broader categories, and moving to more specific ones.
Consistent naming conventions: Establish and follow a uniform naming system for your files and folders to maintain consistency.
Tagging: Use tags to add metadata, making it easier to search assets based on keywords or attributes.
Version control: Keep track of different versions of assets by including version numbers or dates in file names or using a version control system.
Regular maintenance: Periodically review, update, and reorganize your content library to keep it relevant, accessible, and efficient.
Keep in mind that the most effective organizational approach will depend on your unique content and goals, so be prepared to adapt, and refine your strategy as needed.
You can create folders and subfolders to contain assets in the way you like and control if, how and to whom you may wish to share the content with.
