Work with Content Items on the Assets Page

You can view, edit, and manage your content items in many ways on the Assets page.

When you select or right-click a content item you can perform the following actions:

Task	Description
View the asset	To view the content item in a slide-out panel without leaving the Assets page, click the asset name, choose View in the right-click menu, or click in the actions bar. To view the content item in a new tab, press Ctrl and click the asset name. When the asset is open you can also see how the content will look with the different layouts associated with the asset type, and access the editor.
Edit the content item	To edit the content item, choose Edit in the right-click menu or click in the actions bar or on the asset tile. While editing the content item, you can add or edit values, media, or content item references. You can also change the language assigned to the content item.
Duplicate the content item	To duplicate the content item, choose Duplicate in the right-click menu or click in the actions bar. A new version of the content item is created with “Copy” appended to the name. You can edit the item as needed without affecting the original version.
Copy the asset	To copy the asset to another repository, choose Copy To in the right-click menu or click in the actions bar, select the repository you want to copy the asset to, then click Copy. You must have the Manager role on the target repository. You can select more than one asset to copy at the same time. Only the current version of each asset will be copied. If the content types used for the copied content items aren't already associated with the target repository, the association will be done automatically. If you're copying a content item that references another asset, the referenced asset will also be copied to the target repository. Repository managers can also copy assets from one repository collection to another.
View translated versions of the asset	To see all the translated versions of the content item, choose Manage Languages in the right-click menu or the Languages menu in the actions bar. In the Languages panel, if permitted, you can translate the content item by clicking Add Language. To restrict the content item from being translated, click Non-translatable. This action can't be undone, and it removes any existing translations, so be sure you want to make the item non-translatable before you confirm the action.
Translate the content item	To add a translation for the content item, choose Translate in the right-click menu or the Languages menu in the actions bar, and create the translation job. After creating the job, it will need to be sent to translation by someone with rights to do so.
Lock or unlock the asset	To lock the asset so other users can't edit it, choose Lock Assets from the right-click menu or the Lock menu. If you also want to lock all the asset's dependencies, choose Lock Assets and Dependencies from the right-click menu or the Lock menu. For example, you may want to do this if you're waiting for approval. If the asset has already been locked by you, you can instead choose Unlock Assets or Unlock Assets and Dependencies.

You can select more than one asset to publish at the same time. If the asset has already been published, you instead see an option to Unpublish it.
