How to add assets to Dock's content library

Updated over a week ago

Overview

Dock's library supports four different content types.

  • Image

  • PDF

  • Video (links and self-hosted)

  • Link

You can upload these from your computer or import them from Google Drive.

In the guide below, we'll show you how to add assets (aka content) to the library.


Uploading New Content

You can upload new content to the library by following the steps below or simply dragging and dropping files from your computer into the Files section shown on the Library landing page!

Step 1: From your home screen, click Library on the lefthand nav bar.

Step 2: Click the New content button found on the top right.

Step 3: Select the type.

Google Drive Integration

By connecting your Google Drive, you can pull in content directly to Dock. Click here to learn more about how to import using this option, and how to keep this content updated in Dock!

From Computer

Images

To upload an image, just drag/drop the image or browse files on your computer.

PDFs

To upload a PDF, drag/drop the PDF or browse files on your computer

Videos

For videos, you have two options: self-hosted or link.

Self-Hosted

For videos that you want to host in Dock, drag/drop the video or browse files on your computer. One advantage of using self-hosted videos is that Dock is able to provide more advanced analytics like average watch time.

Please note: While we don't have a file size limits, large video files may take a while to upload.

Link (Hosted elsewhere)

For videos that are in other platforms (Youtube, Loom, Wistia, etc.), you can just add a link to upload the video.

Links

Add a link to any website.


Set Metadata

After the asset uploads, you'll be asked to set the metadata for the asset. This includes the following:

  • Name

  • Collections (add to a collection or create your own)

  • Description

We'll also show a preview of the asset.

When you're ready to add the asset to the library, just click create and you'll go to the next screen where you can share the asset!


Why can't I see the "New content" button?

If you don't have access, ask your admin to update your permissions to an "Admin" or "Super Admin" level.
