Every asset Boldstream produces keeps a provenance record, and this page lets you look one up by its code so you can see where a file came from, when it was made, and whether it has been signed off.
1. Open the record
Enter the asset's code and check it. When Boldstream holds a record for that code, the page shows a green Record found line and the asset's name and ID at the top. If the record says the asset carries an invisible watermark, note the tip below it: to confirm a specific file really carries the mark, upload the file itself rather than typing the code.
2. Read the provenance detail
The detail card lists the basics of how the asset was made: its type, the workflow that produced it, the date it was generated, and its quality tier. Any field that was never filled in reads Not recorded, so you can see at a glance what is known and what is not.
3. Trace the sources
The Derived From row shows the code of the asset this one was built from, so you can follow the chain back to where it started. The Vendor Credential row tells you the original generator's credential was checked and held on record, then replaced by Boldstream's own watermark. That mark survives ordinary handling like resizing, re-encoding, and compression, but not heavy cropping or deliberate removal.
4. Check the approval trail
The Approved and Published To rows tell you whether the asset was signed off and where it was sent. When no sign-off is on file, these read No approval recorded and Not recorded, which is a clear sign the asset has not yet been through review.
What to try next: use Check another code to look up a different asset, or upload a file directly to confirm the watermark is really present.
