In the N
AME
field, assign a name to the asset. By default, the file’s name is used.
Note: If you are ingesting an edited version of a file that already exists on the
selected device, saving it under the same name in the same category overwrites
the previous version of the asset. To avoid overwriting the asset, rename it or save
it to another category.

Optional - Enter a short description in the D

spoke XMSs (hub & spoke model), as well as removing the asset from the devices that
it was published to.
The P
