Working with assets
Assets are created from layer content. Once selected on the page, these contents can be added to a subcategory (in the displayed category) within the Assets panel. When a new assets category is created, this creates a subcategory for you, ready to drag objects to.
An asset can be quickly added to a document by simply dragging its thumbnail from the Assets panel onto the page.
Organizing assets
Categories can be created at any time to help you organize your assets. They are then listed in the pop-up menu at the top of the Assets panel. Each category can accommodate an unlimited number of subcategories.
Assets cannot exist directly in categories, they must reside in subcategories. This is why categories are always created with a default Assets subcategory.
Assets in the panel can be displayed as thumbnails in a grid (default) or as a named list. Tooltips display the name of an asset.
