b Do one of the following:

the URL, wraps the element highlighted in Live View.

element is wrapped with the tag.
Select and edit assets
The Assets panel allows you to select multiple assets at once. It also provides a quick way to begin editing assets.
Select multiple assets
1 In the Assets panel, select an asset.
2 Select the other assets in one of the following ways:
• Shift-click to select a consecutive series of assets.
• Control-click (Windows) or Command-click (Macintosh) to add an individual asset to the selection (whether or
not it’s adjacent to the existing selection). Control-click or Command-click a selected asset to deselect it.
Edit an asset
When you edit an asset in the Assets panel, the behavior varies according to the asset type. For some assets, such as
images, you use an external editor, which opens automatically if you have defined an editor for that asset type. You can
edit colors and URLs in the Favorites list only. When you edit templates and library items, you make the changes within
Dreamweaver.
1 In the Assets panel, do one of the following:
• Double-click the asset.
• Select the asset, then click the Edit button .
Note: If the asset must be edited in an external editor and one doesn’t open automatically, select Edit > Preferences
(Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh), select the File Types/Editors category, and make sure you have
defined an external editor for that asset type.
2 Make your changes.
3 When you finish, do one of the following:
• If the asset is file-based (anything other than a color or URL), save it (in the editor you used), and close it.
• If the asset is a URL, click OK in the Edit URL dialog box.
Note: If the asset is a color, the color picker closes automatically after you pick a color. To dismiss the color picker without
picking a color, press Esc.
Reuse assets in another site
The Assets panel shows all the assets (of recognized types) in your current site. To use an asset from the current site in
another site, you must copy it to the other site. You can copy an individual asset, a set of individual assets, or an entire
Favorites folder at once.
You may need to locate the file in the Files panel that corresponds to an asset in the Assets panel before you transfer the
asset to or from your remote site.
