I am using the Python API’s share_thumbnail function to make migrating assets from a legacy project to a new project much easier than re-uploading image files.
I did some testing by deleting the original asset, clearing the thumbnail on the original, and replacing the thumbnail to see if the shared thumbnail still survives in the new asset, and everything looks great so far.
Is it a correct assumption that the shared thumbnail acts like a native thumbnail to the new asset? I want to be sure there isn’t a situation where an archival or deletion (after a certain amount of time) will clear out any shared thumbnails.
Thanks!
