Adding a File Asset

1. In Assets Files view, from the Assets menu, choose New File, or click New Asset on the views bar.

The File dialog appears.

2. In the Location field of the File dialog, type the path and file name of the asset you want to add, or click Browse and select a file.

3. If you want, edit the Asset name and click OK. See Editing Asset Names and Locations.

4. To force publication of the file, even if it is not in use, select Always publish file.

5. Click OK.

When you add an asset in this manner, it is available for use in your site, but it is not yet actually in use. The asset now appears on the Assets tab in the Open dialog. See Reusing Assets.
