Ability to set a custom thumbnail for video assets. We share some finished projects in a portal, but all the auto-selected thumbnails are a black screen, so it’s not clear which video is which. Doesn’t need to be a high-res image or retrievable, but enough to tell one asset from another.

It is possible currently to upload a file to an existing asset as a new version. However, this has to be done one-by-one so if you have many assets to update with new versions it can be time-consuming. This feature would provide a way to upload multiple files and have them be added to existing assets as new versions, rather than creating new assets. As filenames don't need to be unique in Dash we would need to think about how a new file is matched correctly to the asset it should update.

This would enable users with edit permission to add or change the thumbnail used to represent an asset (in the search results and on the Asset Details page). It would be particularly useful for assets that currently show the generic file icon i.e. for formats for which it's not possible to automatically generate the thumbnails. A brand often incorporates two or more fonts. It would be handy to upload a zip file that contains all the necessary fonts for a brand that are contained in a zip file. Then I could add an image or gif that highlights the unique fonts.

For internal and/or external users to be able to comment on assets in a collection for the purposes of collaboration

Hello. It would be great if there was a feature to add watermarks to images in a specific folder. Thanks Tabatha

Ability to limit the usage/visibility of certain fields to specific folders.

This would be helpful, so I can edit the existing asset and add it to a new folder, without duplicating the file.

To be able to choose a custom domain for a Dash account, such as https://ourcompanydam.com instead of https://ourcompanydam.dash.app

Showing linked assets as thumbnails on the Asset Details page

For example, adjusting brightness, saturation, rotation, crop

Save time tagging images with Smart Tagging. Dash learns from your existing images and metadata to automatically suggest the right tags on new uploads. 💡 Why it’s useful: Tagging assets manually is time-consuming, especially when you’re dealing with large batches of images. Smart Tagging speeds this up by using AI to suggest values for custom fields like campaigns, product names, rooms, or content types - based on the tags you've already applied to similar assets. By making it quicker and easier to tag your assets, they’ll become more searchable - helping your team find what they need, fast. ⚙️ How it works: Upload your imagesDash analyses your assets using your existing metadataClick “Show suggestions” to see AI-generated tags for fixed-value fields like folders, dropdowns, or checklistsAccept, tweak, or reject suggestions before saving The more you tag, the smarter it gets - because Dash’s AI model is trained on your own data and improves over time.

It would be useful to have an actual app you can download on the app store. It would be less clunky and more efficient than using a web based app. Many of our team members use their phones to download assets and post to social media.

Ability to browse/view Word, Excel, PowerPoint documents within Dash.

The ability to access a Dash account by browsing its folders from within Finder. This could be used for bulk uploads, and to support the creative workflow process - users could access Dash assets in their creative applications (e.g. Photoshop), edit them and save the edits back into Dash seamlessly.
