Eligible assets for Free collection

Community Beginner ,
Oct 31, 2025 Oct 31, 2025

Hello,
I hope you’re doing well. Could you please confirm if any of my assets have been added to the Eligible Assets for Free Collection?
Also, I’d like to know how long it usually takes for them to appear on my profile.
Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
Tania

I read on the Discord Stock forum that payouts occurred last year on November 22nd, so you should probably expect a similar schedule this year.

You would have seen a payment.

You also can filter the assets on your dashboard to show the free assets.

And you may not. There is no guarantee that the assets you chose to nominate will be selected. As of right now, the assets appear to still be in review.

I just wanted to ask if any of your files have been added to the Free Collection yet, or if they’re still under review. Thanks again!

Mine is still in review. Probably some time this month.

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Can anyone tell me if you’ve received the Free Collection update yet, or is it still under review?

Last year, the announcement on the final selections was made on Nov. 22nd, so I would expect a similar schedule this year.

You can go to your dashboard and select the Eligible for the Free Collection checkbox. You will see that the assets you nominated are still marked as Under review.

You are not addressing Adobe directly here in this forum and will receive no reply from them here. It's not clear whether you're asking whether any of your assets have been nominated or whether they've been selected for the Free Collection. If they've been nominated, you would have seen a banner message on your Dashboard page. If they've been selected to be in the Free Collection you'll receive an email and can use the Filter by Price Tier selection on your account page to see which have been selected. Payment will follow shortly thereafter.

If YOU have added your assets to the selection, then Adobe will still need to select from those assets what they want to add to the free collection. When that selection phase is over, you will receive an e-mail stating how manay assets have been selected and you will see thereafter, according to the published procedure, a payement for those assets. There won't be sales for that however. 

 

You can check the status of the assets on your dashboard.

A certain amount of money has been added to my balance, but I have not received the email ‘You have ... assets accepted for the free collection’. Has anyone received such an email?

Maybe the email got pushed to your junk or spam folder. Don't complain. I DID get an email, but 0 assets were selected. 🙂
