sdrum Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Will there be an option to bring all the images you'll be using in a publication to Assets, as one can do in PagePlus? That features saves a lot of time as one can just drag the image to the page. In PP you could just go to the folder and bring all the images into it. Thank you.

Jens Koopmann Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Thats a must feature for me as well. Its the reason I like Page Plus and I am hoping that Affinity Publisher will get it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMan Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi musictobemade Assets are like a clipboard that can contain many items. Assets are normally something that you will use frequently in many publications, for example a company's name, address, telephone number and contact details or a logo, etc Unlike a clipboard, Assets are retained i) even when you place a copy in your publication. ii) when you close Publisher and they become available again when you re-open Publisher. Once an Asset has been stored, you can put a copy/copies anywhere in your publication by simply dragging it from your Assets panel into your publication/s. This means that you can store commonly used objects such as company logo, explanatory text, etc and if you want others to be able to access them, you can embed them in your current publication. If you pass that publication to someone else, then when they open they will be asked if they want to to import the Assets into their Asset panel. You can create Assets using the 'bun' top right of Assets Panel (fig one) and Create New Category from the menu (fig2) and then add your own sub-categories as I have (fig 3) Fig 1 Fig 2 Fig 3 To make your own assets, simply select an object (text frame, or image or table, whatever) and then open the menu on a category/sub category (click on it's 'bun' and choose Add from Selection. An Asset remains available both in your current publication and any future publication until you Right click on it and Delete it. Deleting an Asset does not delete any copy of it that you may have used in your document. Hope that this has helped introduce them for you.

Roland Rick Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Oh yes, totally missing this also - honestly, this has been the first thing I tried to add to assets...
