What is digital asset management in Apex®?

Digital asset management (DAM) in Apex® is a central library for images, video and documents. Teams store files in one place, tag them so colleagues can find them quickly and optimize them so pages that use them load fast.

What types of files can I store in Apex®?

Apex® digital asset management stores images, video and documents. Keeping all three in one library means editors can find and reuse the right file when building pages, posts and newsletters instead of searching across shared drives.

Why should I tag assets in Apex®?

Tagging assets in Apex® makes them easy to find later. Tags let your team search the library by topic, campaign, product or location, so editors reuse approved files instead of uploading new copies or picking outdated ones.

How should I name files before uploading them?

Use descriptive file names that say what the file shows or contains, such as the product, place or topic, rather than camera defaults like IMG_1234. Descriptive names make assets easier to find in Apex® and give search engines extra context about images.

Why does alt text matter for images?

Alt text describes an image for people using screen readers and for search engines that cannot see the picture. Adding alt text to each image in Apex® improves accessibility and helps search engines and AI crawlers understand what the image shows.

How do I write good alt text?

Good alt text describes what the image shows and why it matters on the page, in a short, plain sentence. Avoid starting with phrases like image of, skip keyword stuffing and leave purely decorative images without descriptive text so screen readers can skip them.

Which image formats should I use for faster pages?

Use modern, compressed formats such as WebP or AVIF for large images, because they produce smaller files than older formats at similar quality. Smaller images load faster, which helps both visitors and Core Web Vitals scores.

How do optimized assets help page speed?

Images and video are often the largest files on a page, so optimizing them has a big effect on load time. Compressed, correctly sized assets help pages load quickly on mobile connections, which keeps visitors engaged and supports search visibility.

Should I replace old files or upload new versions?

Replace outdated files instead of uploading near duplicates. A library full of similar versions makes it hard to tell which file is current, and editors may publish an old logo, price sheet or photo by mistake.
