Manage Assets

The Assets library stores reusable images and files you have given Castaly. Use it to keep reference material available across Projects and conversations.

The Assets library is not the Project’s internal file system. It only shows your saved reference material, not the files generated inside a Project.

What the Assets library is

🗂️Reusable references

Images and files you can add again without uploading the same material repeatedly.

👤Personal library

The library shows your own uploaded material.

📦Separate from Project files

Deleting an Asset from the library does not rewrite Projects that already used it.

Open Assets

You can open the Assets library from any composer that supports attachments.

1. 1

   From Home

   Open the + menu in the Home composer, then choose Assets.

2. 2

   From Project Chat

   Open the + button in Project Chat, then choose Assets.

Images and Files tabs

Assets are split into two tabs, each accepting its own formats:

🖼️Images

PNG, JPG / JPEG, and WEBP.

📄Files

PDF, Markdown (.md), TXT, and HTML.

Within each tab, items are grouped under Today and Earlier, and the most recently uploaded ones appear first inside each group.

Upload to the library

Each tab has an upload tile at the top.

1. 1

   Choose a tab

   Use Images for screenshots or visual references. Use Files for documents, notes, or specs.

2. 2

   Upload

   Click Upload image or Upload file, then choose files from your device.

3. 3

   Wait for upload

   The tile shows Uploading… while the file is being saved.

Uploading here saves the file to your Assets library immediately. It does not automatically add the file to the current composer.

Add Assets to the composer

To use saved Assets in a message or new Project, select them and add them to the composer.

1. 1

   Select one or more Assets

   Click an image or file to select it. The footer shows how many items are selected.

2. 2

   Click Add

   The selected Assets are added to the current composer as attachments.

3. 3

   Send the message

   Castaly uses the Assets only after you send the message or create the Project.

Download or delete Assets

Every item supports actions for download and delete.

⬇️Download

Download a single item to your device.

🗑️Delete

Remove a single item from your Assets library.

Deleting has no second confirmation. The item shows a loading state while it’s removed, then disappears. Deleting an Asset does not affect projects you’ve already created — their history still references the material as it was when you sent it.

Storage usage

The top of the Assets library shows your storage usage.

📊Usage

Only uploaded files count toward your storage.

💳View plan

Use View plan to check your plan and storage limits.

⚠️Upload limits

If storage is full, uploads may fail until you delete files or upgrade your plan.

What the library doesn’t do

The Assets library is a lightweight place to keep reusable material, not a full file manager. It does not support:

• Search
• Bulk download or bulk delete
• Folders or tags
• Rename or move
• Share links
• Version history or permissions

To bring material into a new Project, add it to the composer and press Send — see Add References to a Project.
