Selecting New asset displays the local file explorer with a list of available files. It is also possible to drag and drop an image anywhere on the screen.

The Asset library can store any image file saved in JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, or SVG format.

After selecting or dropping an image, a window opens with fields to define the following information for the asset:

  • A name.
    This only appears in administration interfaces and is not visible to the end-user.
  • Alternative text with information for screen readers and bots.
    Accurate and comprehensive alternative text makes digital assets more accessible to people with disabilities and will replace an image or a graph when it cannot be displayed.
  • A unique identifier that appears in the browser's address bar when users access the asset.
    Once set, this cannot be changed. Only alphanumeric characters, periods and hyphens are supported.
