Content Credentials provide information about the origin and provenance of an asset. In an archive, you can filter assets using information extracted from their Content Credentials. You can then open the asset details page to view a summary of its Content Credentials and explore its provenance graph. To use these features, Content Authenticity must be enabled for the archive. For more information, see Content Authenticity archive settings.

View Content Credentials for an asset

1. Select an asset to open Asset details.
2. Select the Content Credentials tab. In the Pro interface, you can also press R to open the Content Credentials view.
   
   

   

3. The Content Credentials view contains three main areas:

• A summary of the asset's Content Credentials in the left panel (outlined in yellow)
• The provenance graph in the center
• Information about the selected provenance node in the right panel

Content Credentials summary

The Content Credentials section in the left panel provides a summary of the Content Credentials associated with the asset currently open in Asset details.

Depending on the available information, the summary can include:

• Validation status: Indicates whether the Content Credentials can be validated.
• Issuer: Shows who issued the Content Credentials.
• Date: Shows the date associated with the Content Credentials.
• Application: Shows the application used to create or add the Content Credentials, when this information is available.

Explore the provenance graph

The provenance graph provides a visual representation of the provenance information recorded in the asset's Content Credentials.

Connected nodes represent assets or stages recorded in the provenance and show how they are related. Where available, each node includes a thumbnail and the date associated with that stage.

The graph can also show when an asset combines multiple pieces of content. The connected nodes represent the content or stages recorded in the provenance.
 

Provenance graph controls

Use the controls in the lower-left corner of the provenance graph (outlined in green in the example above) to adjust the view or download the underlying manifest:

• Zoom in: Zoom in on the provenance graph.
• Zoom out: Zoom out of the provenance graph.
• Fit view: Adjust the view so that the entire provenance graph fits in the available space.
• Download raw manifest (JSON): Download the raw Content Credentials manifest as a JSON file.
   

View information about a provenance node

Select a node in the graph to view its Content Credentials information in the panel on the right.

Depending on the information available for the selected node, the panel can show:

• The validation status
• A preview of the content
• When the Content Credentials were issued
• Who issued the Content Credentials
• The application associated with the Content Credentials
• The trust status
• Operations recorded for that stage and when they occurred

The provenance graph shows operations recorded in the Content Credentials before the asset was uploaded to Fotoware Veloz. Actions performed on the asset in Fotoware Veloz are not shown in the graph.
