Viewing and adding assets

The Assets panel conveniently displays all assets in the current site—including images, movies, scripts, and links to other files. You can use the Assets panel to view and organize the assets in a site. You can also use the Assets panel to create a set of Favorite assets to use in multiple sites.

You must define a site and create a site cache before you can view assets in the Assets panel.

To view the assets in the Assets panel:

1 Select Window > Assets to open the Assets panel.
The Assets panel appears. It may take a few seconds for the panel to create the Site list, because it has to read the site cache to create the list.

2 Click the appropriate category icon.
3 Select either Site or Favorites.
The Favorites list is empty until you explicitly add assets to it. There are no Favorites lists for templates and library items.
4 Select the asset in the Assets panel. The preview area at the top of the panel shows a preview of the asset.
When a movie asset is selected, the preview area shows an icon. To view the movie, click the Play button (the green triangle) in the upper right corner of the preview area.
5 Drag the splitter bar (between the preview area and the list of assets) up or down to change the size of the preview area, if necessary.
6 Drag the line between two column headings to change the column width, if necessary.
To add assets to your Favorites list:

1 Select one or more assets in the Site list.
2 Click the Add to Favorites button.

The assets are added to your Favorites list. To see the Favorites list, select Favorites at the top of the panel.
Note: There are no Favorites lists for templates and library items.
