Page content and assets
Last updated 6/3/2015
Display assets in a category
❖ Click a category icon on the left side of the Assets panel.
Sort assets
❖ Click a column heading.
For example, to sort the list of images by type (so that all the GIF images are together, all the JPEG images are
together, and so on), click the Type column heading.
Resize a column
❖ Drag the line separating two column headings.
Resize the preview area
❖ Drag the splitter bar (between the preview area and the list of assets) up or down.
Refresh the Assets panel
It can take a few seconds to create the Site list because Dreamweaver must first read the site cache.
Certain changes don’t appear immediately in the Assets panel. For instance, when you add or remove an asset from your
site, the changes don’t appear in the Assets panel until you refresh the Site list by clicking the Refresh Site List button.
If you add or remove an asset outside Dreamweaver—usingWindows Explorer or the Finder, for example—you must
rebuild the site cache to update the Assets panel.
When you remove the only instance of a particular color or URL in your site, or when you save a new file that contains
a color or URL that isn’t already used in the site, the changes don’t appear in the Assets panel until you refresh the Site
list.
• To refresh the Site list manually, click the Refresh Site List button . Dreamweaver creates the site cache or updates
it as necessary.
• To refresh the Site list and manually rebuild the site cache, right-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh)
in the Assets list, then select Refresh Site List.
Add an asset to a document
You can insert most assets into a document by dragging them into Live View, Code View, and Design View in the
Document window, or by using the Insert button in the panel. You can drag the assets from both the list view and the
preview pane of the Assets panel.
Note : Dragging from the preview pane is supported only on Mac.
You can insert colors and URLs in Design or Live View. In Design View, you can apply colors and URLs to selected
elements.
1 In the document, place the insertion point where you want the asset to appear.
2 In the Assets panel, select from the asset category buttons at the left.
Note: Select any category except Templates. A template is applied to an entire document; it can’t be inserted into a
document.
3 Select either Site or Favorites at the top of the panel, then select the asset.
There are no Site or Favorites lists for library items; skip this step if you’re inserting a library item.
