Who can use this feature?

All members with a LinkrUI license.

Available on Multi-Department plans and above.

Mediagraph can be integrated with Adobe Express using LinkrUI, a connector plugin by Santa Cruz Software. LinkrUI allows you to search, filter, access, and view the metadata of all the assets in your Mediagraph account directly in Adobe Express. Streamline your content creation by finding what you need, adding it directly to Adobe Express, and sending a finished product back to Mediagraph without ever having to download a copy.

A premium LinkrUI license must be purchased to use Adobe Express integration. Contact us for more information. Follow the steps below to use LinkrUI with Adobe Express.

Getting Started with LinkrUI

Basic Navigation

Navigating the LinkrUI picker window is very similar to navigating the Mediagraph Workspace. By default, LinkrUI will show a Thumbnail Grid view, showing the segments of your Mediagraph account at the top: the File Vault (for Admins and Content Managers only), Libraries and the My Projects panel.

Select one to navigate through the Folder or Collection tree. Once you have opened a Container, all the assets inside it or any contained subfolder will be displayed. You can change the picker to List view to browse it as a tree.

View Asset Details

Click the View Asset Details button in the bottom right corner to see a larger preview and the following metadata: Name, Type, Size, Dimensions, Created Time, Uploaded Time, Last Modified Time and any applied Keyword Tags.

Search, Sort and Filter

The LinkrUI Search bar is directly connected to the Mediagraph Search bar. All Mediagraph search fields, syntax and operators are valid in LinkrUI.
