Assets Navigation
Last updated 2 November 2026
The Assets interface is built around two elements: files and folders. The toolbar at the top changes based on what you have selected, and the layout is split into three areas: the folder tree on the left, the file list in the center, and the file detail panel on the right.
Sidebar Menu
The Assets section in the sidebar contains four pages:
- All Assets - The main file manager for browsing, uploading, and managing files and folders
- Event Stream - A timeline of all file and folder activity (uploads, edits, deletes, archives)
- Reports - A dashboard of total assets, total storage, active versus archived storage, monthly storage and uploads, file types, and top-10 lists of the largest files, folders, tags and uploaders
- Configuration - Upload restrictions: file types allowed or blocked, and a maximum file size
Toolbar
The toolbar at the top of the All Assets page provides quick access to common actions. The available buttons change depending on whether you have a file or folder selected:
| Action | Available When | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Up One Folder | File or Folder | Navigate to the parent folder. This button appears only when a folder other than the top-level folder is selected. |
| Refresh | File or Folder | Refresh the current file or folder list |
| Add Folder | File or Folder | Create a new folder inside the current directory |
| Delete Folder | File or Folder | Delete the currently selected folder and all its contents. This button stays hidden for the top-level folder and the modules folder. |
| Upload | File or Folder | Upload files to the current folder. Upload is disabled in the modules folder. |
| Download | File | Download the selected file |
| Edit Tags | File | Add or edit tags on the selected file |
| Delete File | File | Permanently delete the selected file |
| Archive File | File | Archive the selected file (can be restored later). This button appears only when the file is not archived. |
| Restore File | Archived file | Restore the selected archived file to the main file list |
| List View | File or Folder | Switch to a list layout showing file names, file sizes and dates |
| Grid View | File or Folder | Switch to a grid layout showing image thumbnails |
Folder Navigation
The left panel displays your folder tree. To browse your files:
- Navigate to Assets > All Assets
- Select a folder in the left panel to view its contents
- Use the Up One Folder button in the toolbar to go back to the parent folder
File Detail Panel
When you select a file, a detail panel appears on the right showing:
- File Name - The name of the selected file
- File Size - The size of the file
- URL - The direct URL to the file, with a copy button for easy access
- Liquid Code - A ready-to-use Liquid code snippet for rendering the file in pages and templates, with a copy button
- Tags - Any tags associated with the file
- Last Updated - The date and time the file was last modified
- Updated By - The name of the administrator who last modified the file
For image files (PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, TIFF, BMP, WEBP), a preview of the image is also displayed in the detail panel.
Search
Use the search bar to find files quickly. You can search in two modes:
- File Name - Filters the current file list by matching part of the file name
- Tags - Searches across all files for matching tags
Switch between search modes using the filter dropdown next to the search bar.
View Modes
Toggle between two display modes using the toolbar buttons:
- List View - Displays files in a table format with the file name, file size and last updated date
- Grid View - Displays files as thumbnails in a grid, showing image previews for supported file types and a file icon for other types
