Content Browser

16. April 2026

Elaine Foley

The content browser is the overview of all content items and is the first thing you see when logging in. You should be able to see previews of the files. Depending on the configuration, you should also be able to see additional information in file thumbnails, such as the content item's file type or the assigned permission set. The frequently used features are highlighted and explained below.

  1. Channel
    Channels filter for specific content items. You can switch between them by expanding this menu. What the channels actually filter for depends on the customer configuration.
  2. Search
    In the Fotoware Alto search, you can search for content. The metadata fields (e.g., title or description) relevant to searching for content can be defined elsewhere.
  3. Sorting
    By expanding the menu, you can change the sort order and the view of the content items.
  4. Filters
    You can filter for content by using the content browser filters.
  5. Collections
    Collections are groups of content items that a user has collected and saved for further refinement, sharing, or editing.
  6. More options
    With this option, you can export, embed, download, delete, share, or export all of the selected content at once.

The options to download, share, add to your collection, embed, export, edit, delete, or access the statistics of a content item are also displayed when right-clicking on a content item or when selecting an asset; these options are displayed on top
