What are plugins for Pro users?
A plugin is a software component that adds a specific function to an existing computer program, in this case a connection to Mediaflow. For Pro users, three plugins are included that allow you to easily access files from Mediaflow in other applications. With the plugins installed, you work with files and documents in Mediaflow as if they were located locally on your computer even though they are in the cloud service. You do not need to download the files first to be able to edit them in Photoshop, for example, to assemble them in InDesign or to insert them into Microsoft Office's Word and PowerPoint.
Open/Save plugin
The Open/Save plugin allows you to edit your files in any programme on your computer, such as Photoshop or Word, and then save a new version directly back to Mediaflow. You don't have to download files to edit and then upload the new version in Mediaflow. The plugin never overwrites the original in Mediaflow but always creates a version of it. With the version management in Mediaflow, you have all versions together and you can ensure that it is the latest version that is used.
InDesign-plugin
The InDesign plugin makes it possible to mount images directly from Mediaflow to your document in InDesign without having to download them manually to your computer first. You don't have to download files to mount them and you also see important metadata for the file, such as photographer, GDPR information, licence rights, etc. You can also combine your workflow with the Open/Save plugin, which allows you to open your InDesign files from Mediaflow.
Microsoft Office plugin
The Microsoft Office plugin makes it possible to insert images directly from Mediaflow into Microsoft PowerPoint and Word without having to download them manually to your computer first. You don't have to download files to insert them and you also see important metadata for the file, such as photographer, GDPR information, licence rights, etc.
