The term "orphan asset" is used to describe an asset that is no longer linked to any active document in the PIM.

To obtain a list of the orphan assets, you can use:

The export :

Export the assets

Export the document - asset links

Once you've done this, simply cross-reference the two files, comparing the asset codes and extracting the assets that have no links with a document, i.e. that are present in the media file, but not in the link file.

Assets file :

Links file :

The API:

Use the GET /api/assets API and extract results that have no linked documents

Keywords: assets, orphans, document-asset links
