Managing File Assets

When you click the Files tab in Assets view, a list of the files associated with your site appears, including external files and those generated by Corel Website Creator X6. File types include image, audio, video, applets/plugins, Java class, HTML, data source, and link target.

In Assets view, you can add assets, edit asset names, and go directly to the page containing a selected asset. You can verify the locations of assets in your site, and you can open an asset file for editing in the application associated with it. You can also replace assets, delete selected assets, or delete all unused assets in a single action.

For example, if you have an image file of an arrow that indicates the next page in the site, you could name this asset Next Page and place it on several pages. If you later decide to change the image to a pointing finger, you need only edit the file asset so Next Page uses the pointing finger image file. Corel Website Creator X6 automatically changes the image on all the pages that include the Next Page image asset.

The File dialog displays an asset’s name, location, and the pages on which it is used. To display the File dialog, double-click an asset’s name in Assets Files view.

Image files that you place on stacked pages to populate an internal data object are not listed in Assets view. You can manage such files directly on the stacked pages. For information about data objects and stacked pages, see Data Publishing.
