ReImport

You can use this plugin to re-import an asset.

Asset ReImport

This plugin enables the re-import of assets to Ooyala Flex. The existing asset is deleted, and a placeholder is created, into which the new file is imported. The plugin extracts the technical metadata from the new file.

Note:
  • You cannot re-import published assets using this plugin - they must be unpublished first.
  • This plugin cannot be used on Placeholder and Group assets.
  • You cannot use this asset to re-import an asset which is purged by default, or purge only.
