How to add to the Assets Library?

Scenario
The image shows the image we will be using for adding the asset library.

Using the Eddie Depot site, we can add in the most common asset they would like to use across a couple of WalkMe items for practice.

We will use this asset in the next lesson, so be sure to go through this practice hands-on!

Step 1: Save the Image
The image shows the context menu option with Save Image As... highlighted.

Let's start with getting the image we will be using from this link.

Right click to Save the image to an easy location like your Downloads or Desktop.

Step 2: In the Editor, click on the Settings Icon
The image shows a Sttings dropdown in which Assets Library is highlighted.

Select Assets Library from the Settings icon.

Note

If your list looks different, do not worry about this. This depends on your user role.
Step 3: Click Upload New Asset
The image shows an screenshot of an assets library interface with an Upload New Asset button highlighted.

Once the pop up window comes up, click on Upload New Asset in the upper right.

Step 4: Select Image
The image shows boston-terrier-portrait image selected in Downloads window with Open button highlighted.

Depending on where you saved the file, look for the image file to upload to the system.

Summary
The image shows a screenshot of an assets library containing five images out of which boston-terrier-portrait image is highlighted.

Uploading an asset to the library will save you a ton of time so you don't have to find the image link every single time you want to add it. This is great for logos or common images that gets used across your WalkMe content.
