Keywords are used to tag items in the Graphic Hub database. New keywords can be added in the Import Window, and when files are imported to the Graphic Hub database. Keywords can be assigned to an item, up to 20 keywords may be assigned to one item. There are four ways to assign keywords. Each method starts from a different workflow point.
