2.14.0 Highlights

Automatically Restore Content

What’s New?

When a panel user is interacting with Reach Engine assets that have Content that is archived the panel will automatically prompt the user to restore the content if desired.
- Restore on Import
- Restore on Check-Out

Why is it Valuable?

Saves time and complexity for creatives by automating the restoration process through automated workflows
Existing Restore workflows can be mapped to the panel configuration to immediately start importing archived content in one step
Panel restore workflows can be customized for any specific custom behavior required

Execute Custom Workflows

What’s New?

Primary workflow menu-bar shown in panel with workflows organized by their configured group
Use the workflow menu tool bar to select and run Reach Engine workflows. From within the panel you can execute workflows on existing assets, workflows that runs against no assets and most importantly pass content from your Adobe Application to any Reach Engine Workflow File Input.
All the progress of your custom workflow executions can be monitored in the Panel Status tab and of course in the Reach Engine UI

Why is it Valuable?

Significantly improved flexibility between creative users and the value of custom workflow. Now that Adobe media can be contributed directly to various workflows it becomes much easier to complete creative tasks across the content supply chain
Save time and stay in your creative tool by running workflows against existing assets and not switching context into another UI
For example, select a placeholder asset in Reach Engine and ingest a sequence straight to the placeholder via workflow and exporting via Media Encoder on the way. The Panel will automatically display all the required workflow form information and allow you to select your Project file or any Sequences as the input file. If a Sequence is selected a preset can then be selected for use by the Panel to automatically render and upload your sequence to Reach Engine and run the workflow.

S3 Transfer Acceleration Support

What's New?

In conjunction with our Reach Engine 2.14.0 and only supported on Reach Engine 2.14.0+ comes support for S3 Transfer Acceleration. With this functionality, creatives can save valuable time by accelerating user file uploads and user download especially over long distances. Please refer to the Reach Engine 2.14.0 Release Notes and User Guides for implementing S3 Transfer Acceleration. Once configured in Reach Engine the Panel will automatically utilize acceleration appropriately.
