## Uploading Assets

To make assets available for documents, you can upload them on several places on the web platform.

Use the 'Upload-Asset'-Button on the top right corner of the webapp to access the upload dialog at any time.

Or upload an `asset` at time you want to link it in a `document` and select if from the list after the upload has finished:

## Managing and Editing Assets

A list of all uploaded assets is available on the Assets page.

### Publishing

Assets can be published or unpublished manually or automatically, [just like documents](https://docs.comfortable.io/documents#the-writing-room). That means, that event if an asset is linked in a published document, it will not be available by API until its state is `Published`.

## Deleting Assets

To delete an asset you can do this by either (1) choosing it from any [collection](https://comfortable.gitbook.io/documentation/~/drafts/-LADZaBiruP_tReVjCY4/primary/concepts/collections) or the 'All Documents' View by selecting the corresponding checkbox and clicking the 'Trashcan'-Button*.* Or (2) while in the single view, open the 'Save'-Buttons context menu on the [sidebar](https://comfortable.gitbook.io/documentation/~/drafts/-LADZaBiruP_tReVjCY4/primary/concepts/documents#sidebar) and click 'Move to Archive'.
