Overview
At times, you may find it necessary to remove a data library from a personalized video. There are two main reasons why you'll want to do this:
1. | You want to completely remove the personalization from a video. |
2. | You want to duplicate a video, but without including its personalization or data library in the copy. See Duplicating a Video to learn how. |
The process described in this article removes all forms of personalization, including: |
|
• | Message by Audience |
• | Using a personalization token (for text or narration) |
• | Show/Skip Scene |
• | Brand by Audience |
• | Logo by Audience |
Warning:
Once a data library is removed, the action cannot be undone. We therefore recommend proceeding with caution.
Removing a Data Library
1. | Open the relevant video in the Studio. |
2. | Select Data in the sidebar. |
3. | In the data library, click the Options menu. |
4. | Select Remove data library from video. |
5. | If you are sure that you want to remove the data library, type Remove to confirm. |
6. | Click Remove. |
The data library is removed from the video and a confirmation message is displayed at the bottom of the screen. | |
7. | (Optional) If the data library is no longer being used by any video, the message below is displayed. You can delete the library completely by clicking Delete Data Library. |
Changes to Video Content After Removing Personalization
After removing the data library from a video, all personalization in the video is immediately removed. Depending on how the video was configured, following are examples of the changes that will occur:
1. | On the Video Page, it is indicated that the video is not personalized as the data library is no longer connected to the video. | ||||||||
