Asset Archive | General & features
The SDZeCOM Asset Archive is an extended alternative to the Contentserv versioning functionality. The module enables the archiving and versioning of media assets and their metadata in a separate volume in the form of a shadow tree of the actual DAM. In combination with SDZeCOM Rules, it is possible to define/restrict the assets to be archived by rule.
