The Assets Library is a repository where you can keep all the assets that your team needs to use across your Graphics Packages, Pages, and Mechanics.
Assets uploaded to the Library are stored, shared, and managed by Team, and owned by the Company (not individual users), just like Projects and Graphics Packages. This means that even if team members leave, the assets will remain there so you can keep working with them.
