Create Local Copy of a Shared Asset

To edit an existing asset locally, share the asset, then create a local copy. The original asset and local copy retain sharing properties that associate them with each other.

1. Share an asset to a set of MIDs. In this example, the asset is shared with business units 333 and 555.

   {
    ...
    "sharingProperties" : {
        "sharedWith" : [ 333, 555 ],
        "sharingType" : "local"
    }
   }

2. Retrieve the original asset using GET /asset/v1/content/assets/{id}.
3. Create a new asset with the original asset's payload plus the sharingProperties using POST /asset/v1/content/assets.
   • sharedFrom is the asset ID of the original asset.
   • sharedFromMID is MID the asset came from.

     {
     ...
     "sharingProperties" : {
       "sharedFrom" : 12345,
       "sharedFromMID" : 333
     }
     }

4. If you retrieve the original asset again, notice that the sharingProperties are updated with the local edit created by business unit 333. The read-only localAssets property stores the MID and asset ID for the local edit in the recipient MID.

   {
    "sharingProperties" : {
        "sharedWith" : [ 333, 555 ],
        "sharingType" : "local",
        "localAssets" : {
            "333" : "98765"
        }
    }
   }
