Button Resulting action
Import Opens a wizard that helps you add an asset to the asset repository.
Delete Removes the asset from the asset repository and deletes the asset binaries from the file system of all nodes where the assets are installed.
On single-server installations, deletion occurs after the configuration is saved.
Update Opens a wizard that helps you update asset files. We can replace a file or module that exists on the server with a file or module that has the same name. Or we can add a new file or module, provided the new file or module does not have the same name as an asset that already exists on the server.
