Q: Why do my images not load on Edge?

A: This requires updating to the most recent version of 11.XXX. Use windows updates to download the most recent version.

Q: Why does the download button or social media sharing option not show on assets? A: The asset associated may have been marked as “Prevent download” in the Releases > Distribution channels section prior to publishing. To change this, unpublish and clone release, in the assets section and do not tick “Prevent download”.

Q: Why do only some of my Media items have a delete option?

A: The delete option only shows if a media item has been uploaded directly through the Admin panel > Media Library section. Those media items that do not have a delete option are a part of assets attached to a Release that were published. To remove this, will require Unpublishing the Release itself.

Q: Why does the Press Release not show on the Newsroom?

A: There may be a few reasons for this. - Please check the date it was published, the Releases are displayed by the date and may be indexed accordingly - The Release may have failed to be published. This can be checked by accessing the Releases module in Vuelio, and checking the status, it will show in Red with a status “Fail”.

Q: Can I play videos in the Media Library section?

A: Yes you can add a video or audio file from you asset library (80MB max file size) or you can choose to add a YouTube or Vimeo link to the Media Library section.

Q: What is the difference between adding assets to Releases vs. embedding them in the file itself?

A: Adding assets to Releases gives the user an option to download this file as a high resolution image.
