Managing Asset Versions

Create new versions of assets and see past version history

The Polyhive platform enables you to upload and track new versions of assets as you continue to iterate on your content.

Uploading a new asset version

To upload a new version of an asset, first navigate to the asset detail view:

Asset detail view

Next, click the Upload Version button. This will open up a file explorer window, where you can find your new asset version to upload.

After you select a new asset version and press upload, you should see a new version of your asset in the right sidebar under the Versions section. Versions are ordered by upload date, with the newest version appearing at the top:

Version upload successful!

Changing the current asset version

Within the dashboard, you can set an asset version to be the current version. This will be the version that is displayed in the Content page, the version impacted by quick actions like downloading and renaming, and the version that is loaded into your game engine using the Polyhive SDK.

To change the current asset version, select the version that you want to set as the current version by left-clicking the box in the Versions section of the right sidebar:

Select new version

After selecting a version other than the current active version, you will see a Set Current button pop up within the box of the selected version.

Clicking that button will set the selected version as the current version. You can see the change reflected in the main section of the dashboard.
