Connecter Suite Power-user features
- Hybrid DAM: Allowing users to browse and consume assets stored on the cloud (AWS, Dropbox, Drive, etc.) and view assets' metadata without downloading their content locally.
- Shared indexed assets metadata: Metadata extracted from the content of all the assets in a Workspace will be indexed and then made available to all team members in various features like metadata filtering and indexed search.
- Web Catalogs: Allowing teams and partners to collaborate through curated asset collections with suggested assets and "accept/reject" workflow.
- Alembic integration: Interactive 3d previewing of Alembic assets.
- Relocating missing assets: Allowing the relocation of multiple assets by just selecting a destination folder rather than clicking on assets one by one.
- Showing starred folders and subfolders: Showing the subfolders of the starred folders when the "Show starred folders" option is selected.
- Sorting folders by color: Making color-coding even more helpful with the "Sort by color" option.
