The Asset Library allows you and your team to save, access, and use assets across multiple experiences in Studio and Editor. This powerful feature drastically improves efficiency and ensures brand consistency between team members and projects. Most of all, it allows all users to easily add modular interactive elements to their experiences in Studio and Editor, regardless of technical ability.
What can be saved to the Asset Library?
Practically any asset in an experience can be added to the Asset Library, including:
Logos and brand assets
Images, graphics, and videos
Buttons
Tab menus
Image carousels
Pop-ups
Thumbnails
Groups of any kind
It's also important to note that anyone on your team can access your Asset Library if they have a Studio or Editor account.
