With the Frontify integration for Adobe Workfront, you can:
Browse Frontify assets directly within Workfront
Link approved assets to projects and tasks
Send finished assets from Workfront back to Frontify
This ensures Frontify remains the single source of truth for assets, while Workfront continues to manage work and collaboration — reducing manual uploads and keeping workflows efficient.
Important:
The integration focuses on asset exchange, not version syncing. Assets sent from Workfront to Frontify are uploaded as new files and do not automatically update existing Frontify assets.
Linking documents from Frontify into Workfront
Linking allows you to reference a Frontify asset inside Workfront without downloading or uploading it manually.

Click Add New and select From Frontify (or any other name your admin set up for your Frontify integration)
