Last but not least, your third superpower is the media asset library.In this lesson, you’ll discover the capabilities of the asset library, how to use images in content items, and how to reuse images and other assets in multiple places.
Asset library
Assets in the asset library can be virtually anything: images and illustrations in various formats, PDF or Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, videos, or anything else.
Folders
You can store assets in folders, and you can nest the folders as many levels deep as you want. That way, you can create a clear hierarchical asset structure so you don’t get lost in the library even when you have thousands of assets.
Asset taxonomies
To help you find what you need and keep your asset library neatly organized, you can also tag your assets with taxonomy terms. You can categorize your assets, for instance, based on the topic they’re about, the team they belong to, or the region they’re intended for.
Use assets in content items
As with linked items, assets can be linked to your content item in rich text elements or in stand-alone asset elements. To add a new media asset to a content item, you have a few options:
Drag your file onto an asset element or rich text editor to upload the file from your computer.
Place your cursor in the text, click in the popup that appears, and then . You can either select an asset from your asset library or click Browse to upload a new file.
Kontent.ai automatically puts the new assets you upload in your project’s asset library’s root folder.Watch the video below to see adding assets to content items in action. Find out more about how to replace, reuse, and tag your assets.

Let the conversation begin
When working on your content items, you need to make sure what you’ve written is correct. However, self-reviews may result in an oversight of mistakes or missing parts in your written content. This lesson shares how comments and suggestions with other collaborators can help make your editing process more refined.
Reuse and customize imagesThe great thing about assets in Kontent.ai is that you can link the same asset over and over without creating duplicates. And in case you need a slightly different variation of the same image, you can customize the image directly in the UI.
Get more out of your assets
When uploading your assets, use clear name identifiers so that it helps with organizing and searching your assets.
Consider always adding alt texts. Alt text helps describe the image to people who can’t see it for technical or accessibility reasons. You can write the alt text in another language if you’re working with localized content.
Try it yourself!Here too, we encourage you to try things out. Sign in to your own project in Kontent.ai and try using assets. You’ll learn what assets have been prepared for you and what the folder structure looks like. Again, when trying this out, be sure to use a safe environment where changing content wouldn’t be an issue.
