Export

To export content items, you could either select the desired content items in the content browser, right-clicking and selecting “Export”, or you could click on the 3 dots on top of the content browser and export all displayed content items.

When exporting the metadata, you can choose which fields you want to export. If you want to export tagbox fields, we recommend to only export the name and leave the rest of the metadata. This will make it easier for you when updating the excel file. You can then just enter the name of the value in this field and don’t have to worry about the other information, as this will then get mapped automaticially.

Update

Similar to the list item update, the content items all have a Picturepark ID assigned and are mapped based on this ID. Therefore, you can change all other field values except the Picturepark ID. As long as the Picturepark ID remains unchanged, the content items are mapped correctly.

Please keep in mind that if you want to insert multiple values into one field, the values have to get separated with an “|”. This also needs to be done if there is already a value in a field and you want to add another value to this field. If you replace the old value with the new one in excel, the old value will get overwritten when importing the metadata.

Import

As soon as you are done updating the metadata of your content items in the excel file, you can navigate back to the Content Platform. Now click on the 3 dots in the content browser and click on “Excel update”. You can choose your file and check if the columns are all mapped correctly. Now proceed with the instructions and update your content items.
