# What is the Asset library?

The Asset library is a central place to store, tag, and reuse your images and media across courses.

The Asset library (previously the Image library) stores and manages your media in one place, so you can reuse branded photography, graphics, and other files across courses. Anything you upload to a course, or use from stock photography or GIPHY, is added to it automatically. It lives inside the Brand kit.

## Access the Asset library


1. Select **Brand kit** on the left-hand side of your screen inside your workspace.
2. Select **Asset library**.
3. To add files, select **Upload files** and choose them from your device. You can upload several at once.

## Edit an asset's details

Adding details makes assets easier to find and improves accessibility:


1. Find the asset in the library and click the **three dots** in the top-right of its card.
2. Select **Edit**.
3. Update the **title**, add **tags** to improve searchability, and set default **alt text** (important for accessibility and screen readers).
4. Save your changes.

Setting default alt text once means you don't have to re-add it each time you use the image.

## Delete assets

* **One asset:** hover over it, select the three dots, and choose **Delete**.
* **Several at once:** hover over each and tick its checkbox, then select **Delete** in the bottom-right.

You'll get a warning before anything is removed. Deleting an asset can't be undone.
