Creating File Statuses

Create unlimited File Statuses to help you find what you're looking for, faster, with our dynamic file filters.

Written by Jessica

File Statuses allow you to create optional statuses to apply to your files. These statuses are available in your dynamic file filters and can be used to narrow down files. You can also set actions for your File Statuses so that files get watermarks automatically added, or are not downloadable when a status is applied.

Settings area

Head to your settings area.

File statuses in the settings area

From the Files and Collections menu, select File statuses.

From there, you can edit an existing status or add a new one.

To add a new status, click + Add file status button.

Add a file status

From the modal, you can:

  1. Give your status a name

  2. Select the color you'd like to appear in your filters and on files

  3. Optionally set the status as the default for every upload

  4. Select an action for your status to enable a light-touch workflow: disable downloading or add a watermark.

Click save to create your status. Your new status will now be available to apply to any file in the upload modal or while editing in your Stockpress platform.

Tip: You can make selecting a File Status required by toggling the "Require statuses' toggle on the File Statuses page.

Edit your status

To edit a status, click the Status name or select edit from the three-dot icon. Make your adjustments and click save.

To remove a file status, click on the three-dot icon to the far right of the status name in the list view and select delete. If you delete a status, it will be permanently removed from all assets that it was associated with.
