Create a New Collection & Upload Your Assets

3. Upload the files you want to include.

Add the Required Tags

To make the collection visible under the correct Brand Asset Categories, you'll need to add the specific tags.

1. Open the collection and click Edit Collection.

2. In the Description field, enter one of the following tags depending on the asset type:

   • CIH_BCT_images — for image asset categories

   • CIH_BCT_colors — for brand color categories

3. Click Save to apply your changes.

Adding Brand Color Categories

If you are creating a Brand Color Category, the process includes a specific file requirement:

1. Create a new collection and set the description to:
   CIH_BCT_colors

2. Inside this collection, upload files with the .cihubcolor extension.

Each .cihubcolor file must follow this structure:

{
  "id": "897428381201",
  "name": "Sky Blue",
  "colorDescription": "lorem ipsum",
  "hexValue": "#87CEEB",
  "rgbValue": {
    "red": 135,
    "green": 206,
    "blue": 235
  },
  "pantone": "279 C",
  "cmyk": {
    "cyan": 44,
    "magenta": 12,
    "yellow": 0,
    "black": 8
  }
}

Once uploaded, the Brand Color Category will appear in the Brand Panel.
