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.
