Managing and Inserting Assets > Using favorite assets

Using favorite assets

Most of the operations of the Assets panel are the same in the Favorites list as in the Site list (see Using the Assets panel). However, there are several tasks that you can perform only in the Favorites list.

Because the Assets panel's Site list always shows all of the recognized assets in the site, this list can become cumbersome for some large sites. If you add frequently used assets to your Favorites list, you can group related assets together, give them nicknames to remind you what they're for, and find them easily in the Assets panel.

Note: Favorite assets are not stored as separate files on your disk; they're references to the assets in the Site list. Dreamweaver keeps track of which assets from the Site list to display in the Favorites list.
