Vault Folders

A Vault Folder groups related Brand Vault assets into a collection — for example "Spring campaign", "Logos", or a brand color palette. A folder can hold a mix of asset types, or be restricted to one type, and it can be downloaded as a single smart bundle and shared with other workspaces.

The Vault Folders list

The list shows each folder with its type, how many brand assets it contains, and whether it is in use. You can filter by type, by usage (in use / unused), by tags, and by the Trashed filter. Sharing columns show folders shared by and with your workspace.

Creating or editing a folder

Alongside the Internal Management section (name, description, tags, workspace):

• Type — the kind of assets the folder is about (image, file, color, font, icon, audio, link, email, phone, or mixed). Required, and locked once the folder is created.
• Restrict to a single type — when on, the folder only accepts assets of the selected type. Leave it off (or choose mixed) to allow any type.
• Title — an optional public-facing title for the collection.
• Brief — an optional short description of the collection.

When editing, an In use indicator shows whether the folder is currently referenced by a widget or layout theme.

Managing the assets in a folder

Open Brand Assets on a folder to attach or detach Brand Vault assets. The attach list offers your workspace's own assets plus any shared into it; a folder restricted to a single type only offers assets of that type. Editing an asset from here jumps to the Brand Vault editor.

Downloading a folder

The Download action builds a smart bundle from the folder's contents:

• A color folder downloads as a .ase swatch file.
• A file folder downloads as a .zip.
• A mixed folder downloads as a .zip containing the files, a palette.ase, and an assets.csv manifest.

Download is unavailable for link/email/phone folders (there's nothing to bundle) and disabled for an empty folder.

Sharing across workspaces

Use Manage sharing to share a folder with another workspace so teams can reuse the same collection. Shared folders open read-only for the receiving workspace — only the owner can edit them.

Deleting

Deleting moves a folder to the trash. A folder that is in use is protected: the delete is blocked and bulk delete skips it. Trashed folders open read-only; restore to edit, or force-delete to remove permanently. Deleting a folder never deletes the assets inside it — only the grouping.
