Asset Manager

The Asset Manager lets you manage places and bulk import assets into your experience, including images, meshes, packages, audio, and models.

Asset folders

Assets are organized within folders based on their type. You can switch between grid view and list view by clicking the view toggle button.

Importing assets

The bulk import tool is ideal for importing up to 50 files in one batch. Imported assets enter the moderation queue and are only visible to you within their respective folder and within the Inventory tab of the Toolbox.

Insert assets

You can insert assets into the Explorer window hierarchy by dragging-and-dropping or by right-clicking the asset name/tile and selecting Insert.

Behavior of dragging-and-dropping into the 3D viewport varies by asset type:

Quick actions

Quick actions are accessible by right-clicking an asset name/tile and selecting a context option.

Asset inspection

You can closely inspect an image, mesh, package, or audio file by hovering over its thumbnail in grid view and clicking the "magnify" icon, or by right-clicking its name in list view and selecting Asset Preview.

When previewing 3D assets like meshes, you can move the virtual camera around to get a better view from all angles. For videos, you can preview the entire video in the popup.

In the lower-right corner of the preview frame, the composition button reveals the full hierarchy of the asset including Scripts, MeshParts, Animations, and more.

Inventory sorting

Assets are sorted by various inventories as selected through the collapsible menu on the left side of the window. If you don't see the sorting list, click the expand/collapse button in the lower‑left area of the window.

• Shared With Experience — Assets that are shared with the open experience.

• Places In Experience — The experience's current places.

• My Inventory — Assets imported to your own user account, shared with you, or acquired from the Creator Store.

• Group Inventories — Assets imported into groups you own or groups you belong to (assuming you have sufficient permissions within the group), or assets shared with the groups. Right‑clicking over a group reveals a context menu with the following options:

  Hide Group	Hides the group from the sidebar.
  Customize Groups	Allows you to choose the groups which appear in the sidebar and search filter options.
  Refresh Groups	Refreshes the list of groups that you're eligible to show or hide.

Asset display options

In the main panel, assets for the selected inventory are displayed. To toggle the view type, click on the view type button and select either List or Grid. While in grid view, asset tiles can be resized through the slider widget.

In List view, click on a column header to order assets by that detail and resize columns by dragging the separator bar between them.

In Grid view, ordering is controlled through the sort button:

Asset type filters

The filter items button lets you control which assets are displayed.

Asset import

The import button lets you import up to 50 files in one batch. Imported assets enter the moderation queue and, upon approval, are added to the inventory of the user/group that owns the experience.

Insert and quick actions

Quick actions are accessible by right‑clicking an asset name/tile and selecting an option from the context menu. Note that places offer unique actions versus other assets.
