Managing Your Published Photos in PhotoDune

Follow these steps to manage your photos on Envato:

Log into your Envato Market account and click on PhotoDune. This is also where you need to go to access your photo items for sale on Elements.

1. Click on your username in the top right-hand corner of the browser and scroll down to Author Settings, then click on your dashboard.

2. Once you are in your dashboard, you will be able to view all your author details including announcements, author resources, statistics, and sales. Under the Upload photos button on the right-hand side of the page, there will be a section called Photo Manager.

The Photo Manager provides you with tools to manage your portfolio. Once you have uploaded your photos, you need to click on the Start managing now button to manage your items.

3. This will lead you to the Photo Manager page and your published items will show up in the Manage Library section.

4. You can use the drop-down menu function to sort items by date published, title, regular price or extended price.

Managing Your Disabled Photos in PhotoDune

1. You can also view your disabled items by clicking on the third section of the Photo Manager. This will show a grid of your disabled items. When no items are selected, the side panel will show a list of useful links for resources related to photo standards and requirements.

2. If you click on an individual disabled item, you will be able to see important details on a panel on the right-hand side, which includes: The title of your image, the date it was published, the date it was disabled and the reason why it has been disabled. Disabled items can be sorted by image title, date published, date disabled and reasons why.

Please review this article to understand the reason/issue of why your item has been disabled to provide further information and help you resolve this.

Additional Features

With the Photo Manager, you can also:

• Set Your Price: When one or more items are selected, the side panel reveals the price change tool. Authors can decide to change the Regular and/or Extended License price.
• Delete: One or multiple photos can be selected at once for deletion.
• Navigate Pages: Skip to a specific page and/or increase the number of photos that appear on one page.

Managing your Photos in Portfolio Manager

From the Portfolio Manager homepage you can navigate directly to your full portfolio, not submitted, rejected, or approved photos. Each button will bring you to the main overview page, with the necessary filters applied.

For example, if you select ‘Not Submitted’, the main portfolio page will be shown with the ‘Not Submitted’ filter applied. You can remove filters at any time.



By selecting 'Author Portfolio (All)', your full portfolio will be shown as below. You're able to filter by file type, item state, eligibility for resubmission. 

Managing Your Taken Down or Disabled Photos in Portfolio Manager

If an item has been disabled, a red cross will be shown at the bottom right corner of your photo. If an item has been taken down, this will be indicated by an exclamation mark.



Further information on the takedown and/or disablement, can be located by opening the item in 'Full view'. To access 'Full view' mode, locate the photo and hover over it to view extra options. Select the square with the arrow for 'Full view' mode (see the screenshot below). 

The 'Full view' mode includes lots of information about your photo, including notifications on takedowns and/or disablements (see below screenshot). An email from our support team will also have been sent, which includes the reason for disablement/takedown.

You will also be notified if your item can be resubmitted for review after editing. If you need further support, please get in touch with our team here.

Editing Approved Photos in Portfolio Manager

If you want to edit your approved photos, you can do so via the ‘Pending Edits’ option in Portfolio Manager. Please note that you can edit your metadata (Title, Description, Tags) only.

This is how you edit a photo and re-submit it for review.

1. Sign in to Portfolio Manager, and select ‘Approved'.
   
   
   
   
2. Navigate to the ‘Full view’ of the item.
   
   
   
   
3. Scroll down to locate the ‘Pending Edits’ section and select ‘NEW EDIT’
   
   
   
   
4. Make the required changes. You can edit the ‘Title’, ‘Description’ and/or ‘Tags’. When you are done, select ‘SAVE’. Then select ‘Submit for Review’. Updates to your item will be published once they are approved by our review team.
   
   
   
   
5. Confirm that your item has been ‘Submitted for review (pending edit)’ in the ‘Pending Edits’ section.
   
   
   
   
6. If your edits are approved by our review team, the item will automatically be updated.
   If your edits are rejected, the item will remain unchanged.
