Working with assets

An asset is an image, photo, video, audio clip, document, or any other type of file managed in Helix DAM. Assets are typically organized in collections within a Helix DAM project.

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