    Thank you for your review and feedback. We’re sorry to hear you’ve had a negative experience with our asset uploader and search capabilities. We are working to improve the upload experience and have launched a new upload experience that allows admins to require particular metadata fields so they are not missed in the upload process. Appropriately defined metadata per asset will help improve the search function for all users. This summer, we’re launching a redesigned search UI that includes relevance sort, enhanced filtering, and performance improvements on the back end for faster and higher-quality search results. If you're interested in discussing your search or upload experience, or share feedback about our user interface (UI), further with our product team, you can submit a feature request directly to them via our online community. This helps our product team understand your use case and can work on a resolution as it fits in our product roadmap or for future roadmap planning. We strive to provide the best DAM experience possible and feedback like yours shapes the solutions that we deliver. Thank you again, and we look forward to continuing to work with you as we evolve our product.
