About the Adobe Creative Cloud Connector for InDesign, Photoshop & Illustrator

The IntelligenceBank Adobe Creative Cloud Connector allows users to streamline their creative workflows by doing the following from within the most recent versions of Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator Creative Cloud:

• Log in to your IntelligenceBank platform, including via Single Sign On. Your custom platform branding will be applied upon first login (Mac users only).
• Browse folders and image files you have access to. User permissions are mirrored within the plug-in.
• Search for assets using keywords, or by applying your platform's Custom Filters (Mac users only).
• Place your assets directly into your document. For InDesign and Illustrator, a lightweight preview can also be used instead of the original to work and collaborate faster until you are ready to use the original/high-resolution assets.
• Open a supported file located in the DAM as a new document in InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop.
• Pre-package your document and download the original/high-resolution version of your placed images in a separate folder (in the same location as your document).
• Embed placed images into your Photoshop or Illustrator document, or keep them separate.
• Check for updates on placed assets, which are automatically updated in your document.
• Share only the document with other Connector users — missing images placed from IntelligenceBank will be automatically downloaded when users log in to the Connector. This is most relevant for InDesign files where placed assets are not embedded directly within the document.
• Upload or update documents and assets into IntelligenceBank directly from the Connector. Any document or asset opened via the Connector remains tied to its original entry in IntelligenceBank, making it easy to push changes back as either a replacement or a new version.
• A Photoshop or Illustrator file placed in InDesign can be opened for editing using the Edit With action in InDesign, and then pushed back to IntelligenceBank as an update once changes are made — those changes will reflect automatically in InDesign.

Also note the following

• A Delete icon will indicate if a placed image asset has been deleted or if you no longer have permissions to the asset in your IntelligenceBank platform.
• Preview images are stored here by default (note that this is a hidden system folder): /Users/<your user name>/Library/Application Support/LocalStore/IntelligenceBankImages/
• Pre-packaged (i.e. original/high-resolution) images are stored in the same location as the preview images by default, but that location can be changed under Settings.
