General
The Assets Library is a centralized repository for uploading, storing, and managing various assets—including images, videos, audio files, and more—for use in creative production or ad serving. This library is accessed throughout Flight Control wherever assets are required, such as when building templates, creatives, or referencing assets in feeds.
You can efficiently organize and browse your assets within the Assets Library using folder structures, bulk folder uploads, and search and filter functionalities.
The Assets Library also offers a public API, enabling you to manage assets and their metadata from external systems. For more information, see Assets Library API Reference.
