Assets are the files and documents you keep in PebblePad. They can be uploaded from external drives or created using PebblePad's templates or creative tools.

What is an asset?

An asset is a file or document and the collective term for:

• PebblePad files – portfolios, blogs, workbooks or templates
• Multimedia – images, videos and audio
• Documents – PDFs, Word, Google Doc
• Specialist files – video projects, development code, or other extensions

All your assets are kept in your private Asset Store.
