4.To upload a specific media file, click the Upload button associated with the media file preview. Click the  Upload All icon in the Upload panel toolbar to upload all of the media files listed in the Upload panel

Streamline ingests the selected media files and requests approval for the assets associated with ingested media files. Streamline displays the text Approval Requested in the media file preview.

All of the users with Approve Assets permission on a Streamline Server receive an asset approval request in the Asset Approvals panel.
