Make It Easier to Find Assets

If an asset gets recategorized after it has been published, an icon is added ( ) so you can quickly see which assets are recategorized. There is also a filter to display only assets that have been recategorized. See Assign Asset Categories.

Tags: Tags, like keywords, are terms that a user might search for.

To add or edit the tags for an asset, click Tags. You can select more than one asset to assign tags to at the same time. See Tag Assets.
