We have split internal and external sharing by making all types of shares be controllable by 4 new roles. The administrator of the system have now greater flexibility in terms of control over which users can share collections through a link, an email or by inviting other users and groups.
The external collection sharing is now more secure. We have introduced the ability to set up a password on collections when sharing them via link or email.

Editing metadata is one of the most important operations that our users perform in the system, and this is why we strive to continuously improve the experience. Editing metadata has become even simpler and faster in 5.7 version thanks to the following changes:
The users can now choose to toggle the edit mode on a single metadata field or on an entire metadata group with just one click or tap. The pencil icon next to every field enables the edit mode on that field, and it is also possible to select ‘Edit’ in a metadata group header to enable the edit mode for all the fields within that group. If the metadata group is collapsed, it will also be expanded to eliminate the unnecessary clicks.
We replaced the ‘Expand’/'Collapse' button on the headers of metadata groups with a chevron for a slicker experience, which is especially important when using Media Manager in limited space, for example on mobile devices.

We have also made several other miscellaneous changes to Media Manager’s appearance and functionality. These are the most important ones:
We have completely re-designed the experience of uploading new assets. While the methods of uploading the assets remain familiar, the access to the upload progress is now contained to the top bar and attached to the ‘Upload’ button to make the location more intuitive to find. When the assets are being uploaded, the button is replaced with a small progress bar that can be expanded to view the progress of upload of individual assets, to cancel the process, to edit metadata or to upload more assets. The upload area will be visible until the users clears the queue.
On mobile devices, the upload area is visible right under the top bar.It is now possible to use Photoshop files/assets as covers for folders, hero banners and collections.
We have introduced the ability to page through detail view of multiselected assets without having to first enter the Group Edit/Multi Edit mode.
It is now easier to preview assets in a fullscreen mode. The user can either select ‘Fullscreen’ from the list of available actions or click on the asset.
While uploading assets and handling duplicates, the first default value is always ‘Upload as a new asset’, but if the user selects a differerent option, it will be remembered as a new default value for subsequent detected duplicates.
The process of configuring the content of ‘Quick asset info' box is now much easier and available from the Media Manager UI. It can be accessed by selecting ‘Settings’ → ‘General settings’ → ‘Asset info’.
