What are Assets?

Assets are individual files that can be uploaded to Assemble. Assets also include version control, enabling you to add multiple versions of the asset to create a version history.

You can upload any type of file to Assemble, including all popular media files, PDFs, word processing documents, spreadsheets, project files and all other file types.

Uploading an Asset

If you'd like to upload an individual asset, open the Phase where you would like to add the asset and either drag a file directly into the phase to start an upload, or click the + Add button in the top right, and select Asset.

On the next screen, click Browse to select a file from your computer, or Drag & Drop it into the window to upload the asset.

If you would like to add a file as a link from another website (i.e. Google Docs), click the Add a Link button at the bottom of the page and add in your link, then click Insert.

By default, the files will be uploaded with their original file name. If you would like to change the file name, just click the Title and enter a new name.

When finished, click Done and the asset will be uploaded to your project.

Bulk Upload Assets

If you'd like to upload multiple assets at once, just add as many files as you'd like to the upload screen. All of the assets will upload simultaneously.

Once the assets are finished uploading, the will all be added to your project as individual files. For instance, if you upload ten photos together, each photo will be added to the project as a standalone asset.

Editing Assets

To edit an asset, open the asset and then click the Three Dot menu at the top right.

From this menu, click Edit Asset in order to change the title of the asset. 

Inviting Collaborators to Assets

To share an asset with other team members on the project, open the asset and click the Share button at the top right, then select Invite Collaborators.

Within this screen, you can grant access to entire Teams or individual Members. You can also Invite new members to join the project via email.

Adding team members to an asset in this method will require them to create an Assemble account to join the project.
