Overview of the Import Folders

All asset imports and folders are displayed on an overview page by navigating to > Assets > Import. You can view your own import folders and, if you have the appropriate authorization, those of other users. Each import folder contains the files of an upload or the extracted files of a uploaded ZIP file. Your most recent import is always displayed at the top and already expanded.

You can access the overview of import folders under > Assets > Import. You can control which imports are displayed using filters in the toolbar. In gallery mode, you only see the editing status of the individual asset. To access the multi-colored status display for import folders as shown in the illustration, switch the import overview from gallery mode to list view.

For a detailed description of the structure and the multicolored status display, see Imported Files.

You can call the following functions and filters on the Import overview page:
