Asset Library

Sveltia CMS’s Asset Library allows you to efficiently manage and organize your media files, including images, videos, and documents. It serves as a centralized hub for all your digital assets, making it easy to upload, categorize, and retrieve files as needed.

Future Plans

Currently, the Asset Library only supports the internal media storage. Support for external media storage providers, such as Cloudinary and Uploadcare, will be added in future releases.

Features

The Asset Library includes the following features:

Folder List

Navigate between the global media folder and collection-specific media folders. This allows you to organize assets at both the global level and within individual collections for more granular asset management.

Asset List

Thumbnails are displayed for image, video and PDF files for easy identification. You can switch between grid and list views, and sort or filter assets by name and file type.

Thumbnails of entries are also displayed in both grid and list views, making it easier to navigate and identify the assets you need.

Asset Upload

Upload multiple assets at once by browsing or dragging and dropping files directly into the library, including files in nested folders. When you delete an entry or asset file, the empty folder that contains it is also automatically deleted, so you don’t have to clean it up manually.

The CMS prevents the same file from being uploaded twice by comparing file hashes and selecting an existing asset instead.

Asset Search

Use the search functionality to quickly find specific assets. You can also filter assets by name or file type to narrow down results.

Asset Details

Preview image, audio, video, text and PDF files directly in the Asset Library. Check your site’s Content Security Policy (CSP) if the preview doesn’t work as expected.

View comprehensive asset details including:

• File size and dimensions
• Commit author and date information
• A list of entries that use the selected asset
• Exif metadata when available, including creation date and GPS coordinates displayed on a map

Asset Management

Manage your assets with a variety of operations:

• Rename existing assets. If the asset is used in any entries, the File and Image fields will be automatically updated with the new file path.
• Replace existing assets with new versions.
• Edit plain text assets, including Markdown, JSON, SVG files and other text-based content using the built-in editor.
• Copy the public URL, file path, text data, or image data of a selected asset to your clipboard.
• Download one or more selected assets at once.
• Delete one or more selected assets at once.

Future Plans

Image editing capabilities, such as cropping and resizing, will be added in future releases. Advanced DAM features, such as tagging and metadata management, are also planned for future updates.
