Navigating in CI HUB Connector

Once you've connected your DAM, PIM, or cloud storage system, it's easy to move around and manage them inside CI HUB Connector.

Managing Your Connections

Under the Connections toggle, you'll see all the DAM, PIM, or cloud storage systems you've connected.

• Use the blue checkbox to turn a connection on or off.
• If you've connected several systems, it's best to only turn on the ones you need right now. This keeps things simple and makes your workspace easier to work in.

Opening Your Connected Systems

To look through your connected DAM, PIM, or cloud storage systems:

1. Open the Navigation toggle.
2. Choose a connection (for example, Google Drive).
3. Click on the connection's name to open it.
4. Hover over the connection's name to see all the systems that are turned on, and switch between them quickly.

Finding Your Way with Folders (Breadcrumbs)

CI HUB Connector always shows you exactly where you are inside your folders.

• The folder path shows up on the same line as your connected system.
• Each folder level is separated by a forward slash (/).
• This kind of path is called a "breadcrumb trail."

Breadcrumbs help you:

• Know exactly where you are in your folders.
• Hover over a folder to peek at what's inside it.
• Jump straight to another folder without clicking through every step.

Navigation Buttons Explained

To the right of the Navigation toggle, you will find several navigation buttons. These control the available functions within this area.

CI HUB Connector offers the following options:

  Bin: Deletes the folder you are currently in.

Note: This only works if the folder is empty.

 Add Folder: Creates a new folder in the current directory.

Similarity Search: Search for images with similar content based on a selected asset in a connected stock system (e.g., Adobe Stock).

Links: Displays an overview of all assets linked in the current document and shows their status.

Folder Navigation: Returns you to the folder navigation view if it is currently hidden.

Search: Use the powerful CI HUB Connector search to:

• Find assets within your connected databases

• Search stock image providers such as Unsplash or Adobe Stock

More Information: Throughout CI HUB Connector, you may notice an “i” icon next to certain elements.

This indicates that additional information is available.

• In the navigation search field, clicking the “i” displays a tooltip explaining the available search options for the current service.

• For certain providers, clicking the “i” will redirect you to their official support page for further assistance.
