Sections

Sections appear across the top of your Brandfolder and Brandfolder Collections.

They are the broadest way of organizing assets in a Brandfolder and are commonly used to separate assets by their category, type, or purpose. Selecting a section's name shows you all the assets within the section.

Pins

Pins appear right above the search bar. Brandfolder Admins create pins to highlight frequently used search terms. Admins will feature the most relevant pins above the search bar, but you can find additional pins by selecting the pin icon to the left of the search bar.

Labels

If your account has labels, they appear on the left of the Brandfolder or Collection you access. You can open the labels drawer by selecting the two arrow icons. You can view sub-labels by double-clicking on the top-level label.

Additionally, you can use pins or sections in tandem with labels. For example, if you select a pin and browse labels, you have more refined results.

The only labels visible in a collection are those associated with assets in the collection. If an asset is in both the Seasonal Ads label and the Holiday collection, the Seasonal Ads label will appear when you access the Holiday collection.

Advanced filters

Select Filters next to the search bar to open the advanced filters drawer. There, you can search by tags, file types, custom fields, orientation, SKU search, or upload date. You can also combine multiple filters to narrow your search results further.

View options

When a Guest user visits Brandfolder for the first time, the view options are set to Brandfolder defaults. Select View Options to change the following:

  • Layout: Use the standard grid view or the optional list view.
  • Assets per section: The default displays 32 assets per section. Users can view 10, 32, 75, 150, 300, or 1000 assets per section.
  • Show custom fields: If custom fields are on the account, users can view the key and value fields in either the grid or list view.
  • Asset info: Display asset info and tags in an alternate language.

Organize and sort

Toggle Organize by section to change whether search results are divided by section or displayed as one group.

The Sort by dropdown allows users to choose from many options such as (creation date, upload date, updated, name, or popularity). If Brandfolder Administrators manually place assets into a specific order, then Guest users will also have a Sort by Position option.

If Organize by Section is on, you will see arrows to navigate between assets when opening the asset modal.
