Adobe Panel explained

Applications this article relates to:

The Adobe panel allows you to navigate and use your Curator stored media in Adobe Software, all from within your adobe software much like you would navigate your media locally. From the panel, you can search for Curator assets and collections, as well as previewing the assets before importing them into your Adobe Project (much like reviewing material in a source monitor).

The navigation of Curator in the Adobe softwares is much the same as Clip Link, so we recommend you review the Searching and viewing assets article for further guidance on navigating your assets through the Adobe panel.

There are four Adobe panels available. This section will walk through all of the features and functions in detail as well as let you know how to install and open the extensions in the workspace, in your Adobe software.

Here’s a brief overview:

The Panel extension placed in an Adobe workspace:
