The Browse Assets page lets you find, view, and perform a limited set of operations on the checked-in version (and historical version data) of any asset in the versioning system. Although you can create and work on projects without using the Browse Assets page, the following examples show some situations in which you might want to take advantage of its features:
A customer asks for information about a product that your company offered last year. The item is no longer displayed on your Web site, but it is stored as a versioned asset. You can use the Browse Assets page to locate and examine the asset.
You want to add an existing asset to a new project. Before adding it, you want to verify that this asset is the one you actually want to use.
Your manager reports that an article on the Web site is incorrect. You are sure you corrected the text some time ago, but when you look at the site, you do not see the changes you made. You want to look at the currently checked-in version of the article to see whether it’s the one you corrected.
You want to delete an asset from the versioning system. The Browse tab provides the only interface for performing this operation. See Deleting Assets from the System.
To use the Browse Assets page to find an asset:
Display the Home page.
In the Operations list, expand the ATG Content Administration option and click Browse Assets. The Browse Assets page appears.
The system displays Search and Browse tabs, which you can use to search for a specific asset or browse through your existing asset directories. These are the same asset picker tabs you use when you add assets to a project. For more information on how to use them, see the Creating and Managing Assets chapter.
