matt.baker Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Is there a way to modify an asset from the asset panel directly so that the source is updated? When I right click on an asset, the only options that I see are rename or delete. The only way I can think of doing this is dragging the asset to a new document, editing it, deleting the original from the panel and finally adding the newly modified asset back to the panel with the same name. There's got to be an easier method than this?

Staff MEB Posted November 24, 2016 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hi mattb5906, No, there's no way to edit the item directly. You have to do as you are doing now. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section. LizziTAuthor and matt.baker 1 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moefinley Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 +1 for this. You should be able to edit an asset in place and also update instances of an asset when opening a document. andykanu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnectCreative Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 And plus one for me too. I'm new to Affinity products (just purchased AD/AP) and was searching for 'Edit original' as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andykanu Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Is there any word on when we might have this feature? It would be really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudiaAndSomething Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Same for me! News on that topic? I just bought AP because I need exactly this function - I didn't even think that such a fundamental thing in a described as a professional software might be missing here. It's a common situation in design business that the looks of elements need to be adjusted - so like it is now the assets are not useful at all for me.

Dazmondo77 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I'm totally happy with the way assets currently work and have all my most used customers logos all at hand all set up to precise colours and specs so I wouldn't want to accidentally mess with that, if any edit to the asset once placed on a page, would update in the asset library similar to a symbol, that would be a disaster for my workflow, so could I maybe suggest a further option to the right click options 'edit asset' ?

Bit Disappointed Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Hm from November 2023 Quote I simply no longer believe that there are any professional graphic designers here. Everything follows suit. Just everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather_BioSkin Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Please add this as a feature to be able to edit assets. I'm wasting so much time deleting and replacing my assets any time I need to modify them, then I have to go to each document that uses them and replace them.
