Asset libraries are created in BrandIn, and connect to existing folders or libraries in SharePoint, OneDrive, or Teams. The assets stay stored in those locations, but appear in BrandIn once linked.
Add an asset library
Start asset library setup in workspace settings.
- Go to the home screen of the workspace where you want to add the library.
- Select the Edit button next to the workspace name to open workspace settings.
- Go to Asset libraries.
- Select Add library. You’ll then be guided through the following steps.
1. Choose where your assets are stored
You can link folders or document libraries from SharePoint, OneDrive, or Teams.
ℹ️Note that folders accessed through Teams are stored in SharePoint.
2. Link your assets location
- Open SharePoint, OneDrive, or Teams and go to the library or folder you want to link.
- Copy the link:
- For a folder: right-click and select Copy link, or select it and use Copy link from the toolbar.
- For a folder in Teams: go to the Shared tab at the top of your team’s channel. Hover over the folder, select More actions (three dots), then Copy link.
- For a SharePoint library: open the library and copy the link from the browser’s address bar.
- Return to BrandIn and paste the link into the Link to assets folder box.
⚠️Make sure users in your BrandIn account have access to the linked library or folder. If they don’t, they won't be able to see the assets in BrandIn.
3. Give your library a name
The name is only visible in BrandIn. It won’t change anything in SharePoint, OneDrive, or Teams.
4. Choose a library type
Each library type is designed for specific types of assets, with different behaviors and default views. Some library types hide certain file formats. Learn more about library types.
If you’re creating a slide library, you can turn on the slide updates feature. When it’s on, admins can mark slides to automatically update in presentations. This feature is only available on Team Enterprise and Enterprise plans. Learn how to use slide updates.
5. Finish setup
Your library is added to the workspace home screen. Any changes to assets in the linked location also appear in BrandIn. Learn how to add assets to your library.
