Improvements

“Save as new” is now available for transformations also on Resource entities

Media now lets you choose “Save as new” when applying Classic or AI transformations to a file from a Resource entity. Previously this option was hidden, so the original file always had to be overwritten, even when you wanted to keep both versions.

Because a Resource entity holds only one file, “Save as new” creates a new Resource entity for the transformed media asset. The original Resource and its file stay untouched.

Who benefits: Media Admins and content editors who want to produce transformed variants of an asset without losing the original.

A clearer upload prompt on the Media tab when an entity has no media yet

The Media tab now shows a large drag-and-drop upload area when an entity has no media. Before, it showed an empty “No resources found” list with a small upload box in the corner, which made the next step easy to miss.

The new area has an “Upload files” button and a short message that no media has been uploaded for the entity yet. It also states the 1 GB per-file limit. Once the first file is added, the tab returns to the usual asset list.

Who benefits: Content editors and Media Admins adding the first file to a Resource or other entity.

Deletion progress now shown in the Media Job Tracker

Deleting assets now reports its progress in the Media Job Tracker. Previously, a bulk delete simply refreshed the view with no confirmation, so users had to search for the assets to check whether they were gone.

When you delete multiple assets, the Media Job Tracker now shows how far the deletion has come and whether all items were removed successfully. This is most useful for large deletions of a hundred assets or more.

Who benefits: Media Admins and anyone managing large asset libraries, who can now see the outcome of a bulk delete.
