Promoting and Demoting Assets

Permission transition will take place, when an asset passes from one state to another. Thereby, not all users will have the required permission to promote or demote an asset from its current state. For more information, see Asset Lifecycle. Furthermore, If you wish to remove an asset from the Store, you will need to unpublish the asset by demoting the asset.

Follow the instructions below to promote or demote an asset:

1. Log into the Store Back Office (Publisher).
2. Click the asset type button.
