Storing Design Files in Assets

[Natalie_Shanks_OneAmerica]

Our design team currently store design files inconsistently and in an un-centralized location. We were hoping to use Assets for storage of live design files (InDesign files). Do you store design files (i.e. InDesign files) in Assets? If so, can you explain process, downfalls, benefits?

@Natalie_Shanks_OneAmerica We should ideally keep final assets in DAM. However, if there is a need to upload work in progress assets too, it is advisable to maintain separate taxonomy/folder structures. This is needed to: 

1. Save Space/storage

2. Manage your assets better

3. Keep Final assets separately for live site usage.

4. Better searchability of assets.

You can create structures like:

content/dam/wip/images

content/dam/wip/documents

content/dam/final/images

content/dam/final/documents

Keep in mind your org folder structure too. Hope this helps.
