⏭ D!NKspiration - How to upload a new version of a publication
Hi there,
At d!nk we want to help our customers to get everything out of our tools. To help you explore your options and to guide you in the execution of them, we hope to inspire you with our D!NKspiration mails. This one is about uploading a new version of an existing publication.
Afraid you missed one of our previous mails? You can find all of them right here.
Ready? Set. Go!
Why work with it?
Instead of deleting a publication before uploading a new version, you can overwrite the existing one with the latest update straight away. Making sure your sales colleagues will not get stuck in between two publications while being on the road and keeping all gathered statistics for the previous publication version.
How do I start?
In this support article you will find a step-by-step guide on how to make the changes.
If the names of both versions are identical, you can immediately drag and drop the new version into the uploading field and our admin portal will recognize the name and ask for your confirmation if this is for sure a new version of an existing document.
When you work with unique names you will need to select the relevant publication first, before clicking on the ‘versions-button’ – next to the star icon – to get the version uploading field to become visible.
What is the result?
The new version will be pushed to the SalesMatik app so that your colleagues can work with the latest update. If ever they are not ready for it or have a bad internet connection, they can still continue with the ‘old’ version. On top, no statistics are lost from the previous version(s).
Happy Thursday!

⏭ D!NKspiration - How to create an online Video Library
Hi there,
At d!nk we want to help our customers to get everything out of our tools. To help you explore your options and to guide you in the execution of them, we hope to inspire you with our D!NKspiration mails. This one is about working remotely with the app.
Afraid you missed one of our previous mails? You can find all of them right here.
Ready? Set. Go!
Why would I create an online Video Library?
Maybe some of your products require quite extensive explanations that are better given with a video - and whenever your customer has the time - instead of going through all details during a meeting. Or perhaps there’s quite a distance between yourself and the location of a customer so that it would be handy to have an online environment with all info gathered in multiple videos, making sure those customers are always up to date as well.
Both very good reasons to start creating an online Video Library, only accessible by the audience you choose.
How do I start?
You create an Account Hub via the SalesMatik app by selecting the videos that you want to share. If not all videos are available in the app, you can also add additional videos from your device when creating the mail. It is then possible to send out the link to a general address on your end and forward it to any contact wanted. Or you can add all recipients that should have access directly when creating the Account Hub.
With the settings of your enterprise account, you can secure the documents with a login if needed. Again here, you can choose to have one login that you pass around or work with a personal login, based on the mail address of your contact.
What is the result?
You now have an online library with all relevant videos, that is only available for your selected customers.
Your customers can now check the information via a direct link, whenever they have the time or need for it.
Happy Thursday!

All very good reasons to work with the SalesMatik App while having an online meeting.
How do I start?
You can install the app on your computer with this direct link for your Apple or Windows pc.

When you are sharing your screen in the online meeting application, you can also work with the SalesMatik app in the same way as you would when being onsite with your customer to show relevant info and benefits on the spot.
