LinkrUI is a best-in-class extension to Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign that enables direct searching, opening, placing and synchronizing of assets stored in a Digital Asset Manager (DAM) system or other cloud storage, such as Box and Dropbox. When a user accesses a project file that has broken links, Smart-Linkr can automatically detect and relink them. The freemium version of the product will alert users of broken links within a file, while the premium version searches the DAM to find the lost asset and prompts the user to fix any broken links with a single click.
If a project’s linked assets are already in the cloud, LinkrUI will automatically search and find similar assets, providing a list of asset options. The user can then choose the correct asset and relink it. If the linked assets are only linked locally, the user can upload the asset to the cloud or DAM service with a single click in the LinkrUI panel. Once the project and linked assets are uploaded to the DAM, all team members can access the same cloud-based project and assets using the LinkrUI panel.

Broken links and version control are common problems among creatives. A recent survey of creative professionals shows that over four in five (83%) respondents are spending time finding lost assets at least once a week. Nearly three-quarters of designers spend at least three hours a week managing versions, and a staggering 15% are spending over six hours a week managing versions.
“The difficulty of managing digital asset versions has long tormented multi-media professionals,” said Mark Hilton, CEO of Santa Cruz Software. “This new feature of LinkrUI has the potential to save precious time every week for creative teams. Collaboration among creative teams of any size, small to enterprise level, is now much simpler thanks to Smart-Linkr in LinkrUI.”
