Managing Your Assets

How to Get Your Assets Into the TAO Asset Manager

Media and assets are directly imported into or created in TAO.

In TAO, images, audio recordings, and video clips need to be imported in the correct format into the Asset Manager. This is done using the Import button on the Asset Manager tab.

Passages, however, need to be created in TAO. This is the one asset type that probably needs some explanation, as these can contain more than just text. The idea behind the concept of passages is that they are text-based, but can contain images in addition to the text. In the case of the latter, these are called complex passages. The image below shows an example of a complex passage, containing a text accompanied by a graphic.

See the chapter on the Passage Editor in the User Guide for information on how to create passages.
