Keyword Update Delay for Approved Images

Hi,

About two weeks ago, I updated the titles and keywords for approximately 200 approved images in my portfolio. While the new titles are now visible on the sales pages, the updated keywords are still not showing publicly — even though I can see them correctly in the Contributor panel. Is this delay expected? And how long does it usually take for keyword updates to appear on the sales page of already-approved images? Thanks

Correct answer Abambo

If your update has been approved, the new kewords are getting indexed.

Hi @Umut33576358xn8a ,

Once your captions are updated, then it means the files are. Usually the files are indexed, and that is what you see. How long that takes for updates is unclear, but judging from my files, in addition to duplicate index tags, there are times the tags do not correspond with the actual keywords. For example, file number 770219358 was not keyworded with "alimentary", but is seen on the website as one of the tag words.

Best wishes

Jacquelin

The keyword section displayed in the Buyer portal is not a list of the actual keywords entered by the Contributor. They are "similar keywords".

    How do you know that they're still not displayed publicly? When you look at your image on the Buyer portal at stock.adobe.com you can't see your actual keywords; only "similar keywords" are displayed.

      Updates from titles and keywords can take time for servers to refresh their caches. Usually within a day. I tested this just now with one of my assets. I now get a popup window, which I have never seen before,  with the message that they changes will be reviewed before they are saved. Maybe this is the cause for the delay.
