Leveraging Batch Upload

📔 Overview

This article provides an overview of the batch upload functionality, primarily designed for handling file-type content. In NimbleStory, each piece of content is associated with a specific resource within a project. This feature allows multiple files to be linked to the same asset, streamlining content management and organization. It also ensures that all content is accessible and visible to any user within your project.

Imagine streaming your favorite television show. You access your preferred streaming service and choose season 2 from a total of 15 seasons. Within season 2, there are 24 episodes. Similarly, in a project, a piece of content can function like a season of a TV show, where multiple episodes are grouped under one season. In this context, multiple files can be grouped together under a single piece of portfolio content.
