# Import and Manage Assets

Contributors, publishers, and site administrators can import a variety of assets, such as images, HTML pages, and PDFs, to use in a website. You can import assets and files individually, or use a zipped file. When importing entire websites or large numbers of assets, it’s easier to create a zipped file of the content with the desired folder structure. When importing the zipped file for a website, Site.com recreates your website and places everything in the same folder structure.

Note The maximum file size you can import is 50 MB unless you import and _unzip_ a .zip file. In that case, you can import a .zip file of up to 200 MB if you select **Unzip files** during the import process.

The quickest way to import one or more files is to:

1. Select the files from your computer and drag them directly onto the Studio interface. This is supported for Mozilla® Firefox® and Google® Chrome only. You can drag individual files, or a zipped file.
2. Depending on the types of files you’re importing, a dialog box can appear that lets you:
    - Select **Unzip files** to extract the contents of a .zip file. If the .zip file includes folders, this structure is maintained in your site.
    - Select **Overwrite existing files** to replace a file that exists in the site.
    - Select **Convert CSS files into style sheets**, if you're a site administrator or designer, to convert a CSS file into a style sheet that you can use to style your website.
        
        ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/images/icon_note.png)
        
        Note If you import a .zip file that includes CSS files, and they fail to convert, they aren’t valid. Try unchecking this option and then reimporting the .zip file.
    - Select **Convert HTML files into pages** to import HTML pages into your website. The structure of the HTML page is maintained in your site, but the HTML is not validated during import.

Alternatively, to import a single file:

1. Click **Import...**.
2. Click **Browse...** to locate the file.
3. Select the file and click **Open**.
4. Depending on the type of file you’re importing, you can:
    - Select **Unzip files** to extract the contents of a .zip file. If the .zip file includes folders, this structure is maintained in your site.
    - Select **Overwrite existing files** to replace a file that exists in the site.
    - Select **Convert CSS files into style sheets**, if you're a site administrator or designer, to convert a CSS file into a style sheet that you can use to style your website.

        Note If you import a .zip file that includes CSS files, and they fail to convert, they aren’t valid. Try unchecking this option and then reimporting the .zip file.
    - Select **Convert HTML files into pages** to import HTML pages into your website. The structure of the HTML page is maintained in your site, but the HTML is not validated during import.
5. Click **Import**. A message appears indicating whether the file was imported successfully.
6. Click **![Close](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_close.png)**.

You can [add images](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_image.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Designers and site administrators can add images to content blocks when viewing a page in Design Mode.") and [videos](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_video.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Designers and site administrators can add YouTube®, Google®, Adobe® Flash®, Windows Media®, and Apple QuickTime® videos to content blocks when viewing a page in Design Mode.") to the text areas of your site pages, or [create a hyperlink](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_contentblock_hyperlink.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When viewing a page in Design Mode, designers and site administrators can create hyperlinks to external Web pages or websites, pages and assets in the site, email messages, and anchors on the page.") to any imported asset. If you're a site administrator or designer, you can add also [add images directly](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_image.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "As a site administrator, you can add images directly to your site pages and page templates or you can add images to content blocks.") to the page.

View the list of imported assets in the Assets view on the Overview tab. You can also access assets in the All Site Content view, which displays the folder hierarchy of your site.

- To view a thumbnail of an imported image, hover over it.
- To save an asset to your computer, hover over or select it and click **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Download**.
- To remove an asset from your site if you're a site administrator or designer, hover over or select it and click **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Delete**. If the asset is being used in your site, you see a confirmation message with a list of locations where that asset is in use. After an asset file is deleted, it exists in the Salesforce cache for up to 24 hours. After this period it is permanently deleted from our systems.

    Note An asset can still be accessible if it's cached locally by a browser, or cached by an external system.
- To rename an asset on your site if you're a site administrator or designer, hover over the asset and click **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Rename**.

- **[Export Assets](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_assets_export.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Designers and site administrators can export all site assets separately from the .site file. You can export assets together or individually.
- **[Creating and Managing Folders](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_folders_manage.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    As a site administrator or designer, you can create folders to manage your pages, style sheets, templates, and assets.
