Import Feature Overhaul

The import functionality has been significantly redesigned in version 8.0 compared to previous versions to provide more flexibility and control over file uploads. Key improvements include:

Compared to previous versions, users can now drag and drop local files from their computer into the search results or the open import area to upload them.

  • A new Import button in the upper right corner of the Import page opens the upload interface

  • Drag-and-drop file upload is now supported in the search results and import areas

  • Redesigned Import dialog with enhanced options

  • Upload files to existing folders or create new ones

  • Specify custom names for import folders (1-255 characters, alphanumeric and spaces only)

  • Name cannot be changed once upload begins

  • Easier identification of assets after upload, as the folder has been given a meaningful name by the user

  • Better organization and structuring of uploaded assets with the ability to name import folders

  • Differentiate uploads by folder name for faster retrieval and sorting

  • The import name is a mandatory field and must not be empty

  • The name is limited to 255 characters

  • Once the upload has started, the folder name can no longer be changed

  • The To Import button provides direct access to your newly imported files

  • The new Close button allows cancelling the import process

  • You can view all files you're responsible for, independent of import folders

  • Import speeds have increased through performance optimization of all import actions

These changes provide a better, user-friendly import process with faster access to uploaded content. The new flexibility in folder management and direct file access should significantly improve productivity when working with imports.

Note

Drag-and-drop upload is disabled when your role lacks upload permissions or when a dialog is open in the search results.
