The Assets panel shows all the assets (of recognized types) in your current site. To use an asset from the current site in another site, you must copy it to the other site. You can copy an individual asset, a set of individual assets, or an entire Favorites folder at once.
You might need to locate the file in the Files panel that corresponds to an asset in the Assets panel before you transfer the asset to or from your remote site.
NOTE |
|
The Files panel might show a different site from the one that the Assets panel shows. This is because the Assets panel is associated with the active document. |
NOTE |
|
Locate in Site is unavailable for colors and URLs, which do not correspond to files in the site. |
The Files panel opens, with the asset file selected. The Locate in Site command locates the file corresponding to the asset itself; it does not locate a file that uses that asset.
NOTE |
|
In the Favorites list, you can copy a Favorites folder as well as individual assets. For information about Favorites folders, see Grouping assets in a Favorites folder. |
The assets are copied to the specified site, into locations corresponding to their locations in the current site. Dreamweaver creates new folders in the target sites hierarchy as needed. The assets are also added to the specified sites Favorites list.
When you open a document in the target site, the Assets panel switches to that site, and shows the copied asset.
NOTE |
|
If the asset you copied is a color or a URL, it appears only in the other sites Favorites list, not in the other sites Site list. This is because there is no file corresponding to the color or URL, so theres no file to copy into the other site. |
