# Manage assets

**Assets** lets you manage the current site's Webflow asset library from Wicked CMS. You can work with images, documents, and other files.

![Assets workspace](/_fern-img/580afee4f539d39f8518c2153f5c3e2a1c154a1ec26589ed6799a31b78f5ccca.webp)

Open **Assets** from the [site section switcher](/switch-between-cms-and-assets) in the sidebar.

## Browse folders

The Assets sidebar lists:

* **All assets:** every file on the site
* **No folder:** files that are not in a folder
* Nested folders from your Webflow asset library

Click a folder to show its contents in the grid. Use **Search folders** above the list to filter the tree by name. Child folders appear as cards in the main panel. Click one to open it.

## Search and filter assets

In the Assets toolbar:

* Type in **Search assets** to filter by name
* Click **Toggle filters** to filter by **File type** (Images / Files), **File format**, or **Alt text**
* Click **Reload assets** to refresh the library from Webflow

Search and filters work together. Assets must match both.

## Upload assets

#### Choose a destination

Select the folder where the file should go. In **All assets** or **No folder**, uploads are unfiled.

#### Click Upload

Click **Upload**, or drag and drop files onto the asset grid.

#### Choose a source

In **Upload assets**, pick **Upload** (file or drag and drop), **Paste a link**, or **Paste an image** from your clipboard.

#### Finish the upload

For a single image, you can crop and resize before uploading. Keep the progress dialog open until uploads complete.

## Create a folder

Click **New folder**, enter a **Folder name**, and click **Create**. The folder is created inside the location you have selected (or unfiled when you are on **All assets** or **No folder**).

## Edit asset details

Click an asset card to open the detail sheet. You can:

* Edit **Display name**
* Edit **Alt text** (images)
* View **File name**, **Type**, **Size**, and **Dimensions**
* **Download**, **Save**, or **Delete** the asset

Changed fields highlight until you save. Closing with unsaved changes prompts you to keep editing or discard.

> **Note**
>
> You can update the display name and alt text. To replace a file, upload a new one.

## Delete assets

* From the detail sheet, click **Delete** and confirm
* Or click **Select**, choose assets, then **Delete**

Deleting removes the file from the Webflow asset library. CMS items that still reference it may break.

## Permissions

Uploading, editing, and deleting require Webflow **`assets:write`** access. If your connection is missing it, Wicked CMS shows a message with **Reconnect Webflow**. See [Manage your Webflow connection](/manage-webflow-connection).
