Navigating in the Library
To navigate, you need to head over to the top bar. There, you will see an indicator of where you are within your folders and your library.
In the example above, I am in the folder called “Folder 2”, which is a subfolder within the folder “Test 1”, which is located within the main part of the library.
In order to navigate between folders, just select, within this nav bar, the folder you want to jump to.
How do I filter in the Library?
To filter assets, simply select the type of item you want from the filter list on the right.
They available filters are:
Asset Type: whether the file is an image or a video
Asset usage: whether the file has been used or not in a post
Labels: what label is applied to the file
Creator: which team member added the file to the library
By selecting a filter, you are choosing to display only the items that correspond to that filter, from your library. You can select multiple filters.

If you are finding that the thumbnails for assets are too small, you can easily change the sizes by clicking on this button, where you have the choice between small, medium and large.

Can I restore deleted items?
You can restore an item from the Deleted files section within 30 days of deleting it.

You can also restore multiple files at once. Simply click the checkbox in the top right of the file thumbnail, for all files you wish to restore. Then click the Restore button in the top of the screen.
