Navigating the Asset Library

Browse, search and filter your uploaded files, inspect asset details, and use the same experience in asset pickers across the app.

ReferenceBeginnerUpdated

The Asset Library is your central hub for browsing, searching, and managing all uploaded files.

Layout

The library displays assets in a grid view with thumbnails. You can adjust the thumbnail size using the S/M/L toggle in the top-right corner.

Asset pickers across the app

Note

The asset pickers used throughout Helmo Live (the Graphics editor, Helmo Presets, and the Rundown) now have full parity with Drive.

Anywhere you select an asset, the picker offers the same experience as the Asset Library:

  • Folder navigation with breadcrumb: Browse into folders and use the breadcrumb trail to move back up.
  • Team + global scope: See your team's assets alongside global assets in the same picker.
  • Create folder: Add a new folder without leaving the picker.
  • Upload to the open folder: Upload files directly into the folder you're currently viewing.
