Organizing Assets
You can rename you assets, move them between the folders and manage their hierarchy safely and easily using the Asset Browser. You don’t have to worry that your material will lose a texture when you change its name. The Asset System will track the changes and keep all links and dependencies between the resources.
Creating and Moving Folders
Within your project you can create as many folders as you need, including nested ones. Keeping the folder tree of your project well-structured will help to find necessary assets quickly and makes migration of assets between projects easier.
To create a new folder right-click somewhere in the Main panel of the Asset Browser and choose Create Folder or use Create button in the top-right corner.
To move a folder to another location within your project you can select it in the Folder View panel and simply drag it to the target folder.
To move several folders select them in the Main panel and drag to the target folder in the Folder View panel.
