Do this step by step
You can view the asset detail panel within the Home Screen, Experiences, or Shared Spaces. Below will walk through navigating to the details through an Experience.
- Find an asset you’d like to view and see details on by using the search bar or heading to the Content tab.
- Open an asset. Use the menu at the top of the screen for the following actions, which may vary according to your package:
Start Showpad Video: begins recording a video message from this asset
Share: generate an email, a link, or add the asset to a Shared Space
Add to Collection: select the entire asset or specific pages to add to a Showpad Collection
Annotate: use a pen, highlighter, text size, and color to accentuate the asset during presentations
Toggle thumbnails: opens and closes the left-side menu detailing the asset by page or slide
More actions: open the asset in a native app, such as Adobe or Microsoft, download the asset, or like it with a thumbs up - Use the options from the bottom menu to open the thumbnails for multi-page assets, zoom out or zoom in, and switch between single page view or continuous scrolling.
- If your asset contains enough detectable text, you will see a magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner. Click it to expand and enter the text you'd like to search for. Use the arrows to jump forward and back between multiple uses of the same word to locate key topics quickly.
- The asset detail pane will be automatically hidden so that when you’re presenting, the first view will be the content simplified. Your preference will be remembered the next time you select an asset. Click the arrow in the lower right corner to expand the asset detail pane, or click the info icon or comment icon to open the respective section.
- Check out the types of information available about the asset being viewed.
Here are the different types of details and what they mean:
Info: Find out who created the content when it was first added, or when a new version was last uploaded
Uploaded on: Date the asset was added to Showpad
Description: What the document creator wants you to know about the piece
Engagement: Provides insight into overall peer usage by displaying in-app views, shares, and average customer view time. Engagement is refreshed every 24 hours.
Tags: Everything added by the admin to label content for easy searching. If categories are used, they will appear ahead of the tags
Submit private feedback: Send thoughts, edits and ideas for assets privately to the admin and/or author of the asset that will not be seen as a public comment - Click the Comments icon to see thoughts others have left or leave your own in the text field. Or, send your thoughts directly to your admin and the author of the asset by selecting Submit private feedback to the author(s).
- The numbers reflected in the Asset Detail Pane span over the entire lifetime of the asset. If an asset is updated, it will take about a day to data changes caused by the update. These metrics do not reset to zero so that all historical data is maintained.
