Assets

The asset manager is a file browser over your Organization's own Cloud Storage bucket. If you have used Google Drive, it will feel familiar: folders on one side, files on the other, with upload, rename, move, download, and delete.

What works today

The asset manager works end to end. Files live in your own Cloud Storage bucket, so you own them. Everything here is wired: folders, uploads, search, downloads, and the read-only protection on generated and synced assets.

Folders and files

• Organise assets into a folder tree. Folders can nest.
• Upload files up to 200 MB each.
• Rename and move assets and folders. Moves are bookkeeping in Klyo's database; they never re-shuffle the underlying objects in storage.
• Download any asset.
• Search files by name across every folder. Media pickers filter to the right kind on their own, for example images only.
• Delete assets, and delete empty folders.

Wherever the app asks you to pick an asset (binding a campaign field, linking a catalogue item), the same picker lets you upload a new file on the spot, including by dragging it straight in, rather than sending you here first.

Generated assets are read-only

When Klyo generates an asset (from generation or a render), it lands in an automatically created Generated folder and is marked system-managed. You can see it and download it, but you cannot rename, move, or delete it through the browser. This is freeze-at-render at the storage layer: a produced asset stays exactly as it was made.

Synced assets are read-only too

When a feed imports product images from web links, Klyo downloads the bytes into a second system folder, Synced, also marked system-managed. Synced assets are mirrored to the live feed: an image stays only as long as the feed still references it. Like generated assets, you can view and download them but not rename, move, or delete them.

Assets and catalogues

Assets can be linked to catalogues, for example a product catalogue item carrying its pack shot. If you delete an asset that a catalogue item points at, Klyo does not hide the gap: it flips the link to unresolved so the missing file is visible rather than silently dropped.

What you can do today

• Browse and search assets.
• Create folders and organise files into them.
• Upload, rename, move, download, and delete.
• Keep generated and synced assets safe as read-only files.
