Asset Status

One of the unique abilities of Zoom is the ability to check files in and out as you are working on them. The following instructions will explain how to check out a file from Zoom using the Asset Browser. Before doing so, it is important to understand the different file-statuses that exist in Zoom.

StatusNameDescription
Up to DateThere is a working copy of the file on your computer that is currently up to date and the latest version from the Zoom Server.
ModifiedThere is a working copy of the file on your computer that is currently modified and is a newer version than the one on the Zoom Server. This file needs to be checked in to the Zoom Server.
Need to UpdateThere is a working copy of the file on your computer and there is a newer version on the Zoom Server. You need to update
ConflictThere is a working copy on your computer that was modified based on an older version of the file and there is a newer revision on the server. Zoom does not know which version is the correct version.
LockThe file is locked on the server. Only the user that has the file locked can edit the file.

Within the Asset Browser, it is easy to see the status of the file below the thumbnail of the asset. You will see the different icon indicators indicating the status of the file. If you do not see an indicator next to the file, this tells you that you do not currently have a working copy on your computer.
