This document summarizes a presentation about the Scald module for Drupal. Scald allows users to manage digital assets like images, videos, sounds and share them across Drupal objects. It started in 2008 and was ported to D7 in 2012. While popular with some large organizations, D6 Scald had issues with usability and community support. The D7 redesign improved the user experience and grew the user base. Scald works by treating digital assets as "atoms" that can be searched, embedded and reused across a Drupal site. The presentation demonstrates how Scald integrates with fields and editors. Future plans include more providers and editors, as well as a 1.0 release before integration into Drupal core
