Work with assets

An asset is an image, photo, video, audio clip, document, or any other type of file managed in P4 DAM. Assets are typically organized in collections within a P4 DAM project. Assets may also be part of an asset bundle. See Work with asset bundles.

To view and work with assets in a project, you must be a member of the project. Actions you can perform are limited by your P4 Server permissions. Contact your P4 DAM project administrator for help.
