If you have an existing Sitecore Connect for Sitecore DAM (SCDAM) 2.0 installation, you can upgrade it to SCCH 5.2. The procedure is the same regardless of whether your installation is on-prem or in Azure.

    • <Sitecore instance>\bin\Stylelabs.M.Sitecore.Integration.Components.dll.

    RequestResponse
    <add name="DAM.ContentHub" connectionString="ClientId={client_id};ClientSecret={client_secret};UserName={username};Password={password};URI={uri};" />

  4. On the Sitecore Launchpad, click Desktop. Switch from the Master database to the Core database.
