When configured, Curator can connect to archival systems to restore high-resolution content, ensuring that files are available for workflows that require direct access.
For example, administrators can restore files directly from within Clip Link by selecting the archived assets and using a plugin to initiate the restore operation.
During the restoration process, metadata will be updated to reflect the restored status, indicating that the high-resolution files are now available and accessible via Curator Services. This is typically represented using metadata fields such as Archive: False/True and HiResPath: PathToFile/Removed.
Once restored, files will become available in storage and can be used in any necessary workflows.
Where configured, certain workflows may restore assets automatically as part of a task request such as a delivery workflow or an Adobe export.
In Curator for Adobe, users can switch between proxy and high-resolution files. If high-resolution files have been made unavailable due to having been archived, and the system supports restoration, an option will be presented to restore them. This allows users to bring files back to disk for use in editing when required.
