Collections:
A collection is a set of assets within Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets. Collections are used to share assets between users. A collection can include assets from different locations.

Collections can be shared with various users that are assigned different levels of privileges, including viewing, editing, and so on.

Lightbox: is a special type of collection that provides easy access to assets. We can quickly access Lightbox to add or delete assets. Every user has an exclusive Lightbox that is automatically created when the user logs in to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets.

Remember the Lightbox collection cannot be deleted.

Shared Links:
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets lets you share assets, folders, and collections as a URL with members of internal and external organizations, including partners and vendors. This makes a convenient way of making resources available to external parties without them having to first log in to AEM Assets.

Asset templates :
Adobe InDesign can be used to create and export brochures, flyers, and print ads that speed time to market while complying with brand guidelines and breaking digital and print silos with consistent messaging across channels leveraging the AEM platform.

Catalogs:
Catalogs allow customers to leverage pre-designed InDesign templates to generate new catalogs straight from Experience Manager, and target print channel, saving significant time and layout costs.

Jobs:
The Jobs page shows the progress of the asset upload. We can continue working in AEM and return to the Jobs page in Dynamic Media at any time to review an in-progress job.
