Resources Settings

The Settings popup appears when you add new resources and when you click the Settings option in the Resources library. Depending on whether you are working with an individual resource or with multiple resources, the Settings popup contains different options. Read the sections below to learn more.

Individual Resource

When you upload or edit a single resource, the Settings popup contains the following:

  • A preview of the resource you are uploading or editing and file information (format, size, source, and type).

  • The Basic info tab, where you can add or edit information about the resource.

  • The Used in tab, where you can see information about the apps and screens where the resource is being used.

Click Save to save your changes and close the popup.

Basic Info Tab

The Basic Info tab lets you add or edit your resource's name and description, choose resource packaging settings and add tags. Refer to the table below to learn more.
