# How to Share an Asset Library Between Microapp Libraries
## This guide explains how Library Administrators can share an asset library across multiple microapp libraries, giving editors in different libraries access to the same centralized asset collection.
Asset sharing makes one asset library available to editors in other microapp libraries. Your brand team keeps a single set of approved images, videos, and brand files, and every team that needs them can use them, without copies to keep up to date in each library.
### **When to Use It**
| **Situation** | **How Sharing Helps** |
| --- | --- |
| **A brand team serves several departments** | Share one library of approved logos and imagery with Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success, each in their own microapp library. |
| **Regional or product-line libraries** | Keep product shots in one place and share them with every region that builds microapps for that product. |
| **Keeping assets current** | Replace an asset once in the owning library instead of in every library that uses it. |
### **Before You Start**
| **You Need** | **Details** |
| --- | --- |
| **Your role** | Library Admin on the microapp library that owns the assets. You don’t need any role in the libraries you share with. |
| **The receiving libraries** | They must already exist. Account Admins create libraries from Create a library at the bottom of the left navigation. |
| **The assets** | An asset library with the files you want to share, in Settings → Assets. |
### **Share an Asset Library**
1\. **Select Settings** — at the bottom of the left navigation, then select Assets.
2\. **Select the Asset Sharing tab.** — It sits next to the Settings tab at the top of the page.

3\. **Choose the asset library you want to share.** — Only libraries you can manage are listed.

4\. **Select the microapp libraries that should get access.** — You can choose as many as you need.
5\. **Save your changes.** — Editors in those libraries can use the shared assets straight away.
| **Pro Tip:** Share a library made just for approved assets, such as “Brand Approved,” rather than a working library. Everyone then sees the final files only, and your team can keep drafts elsewhere. |
| --- |
### **What Editors See**
Editors in a receiving library don’t need to do anything. The next time they open the asset picker in Builder 1.0 or Builder 2.0, the shared library appears alongside their own library’s assets.
| **Editors in Receiving Libraries Can** | **They Can’t** |
| --- | --- |
| **Browse, search, and insert shared assets into their microapps** | Add, replace, rename, or delete assets in the shared library |

| **Changing a shared asset:** Only admins of the owning library can change shared assets. Replacing a file updates it everywhere it’s used, and microapps need to be republished before shared links show the new version. |
| --- |
### **Stop Sharing With a Library**
1\. **Open Settings → Assets** — and select the Asset Sharing tab.
2\. **Choose the shared asset library,** — then clear the microapp library you want to remove.
3\. **Save your changes.** — Editors in that library no longer see the shared assets in the asset picker.

| **Heads Up:** Microapps that already use a shared asset keep it after you stop sharing. Editors in that library just can’t insert anything new from it. To fully remove an asset, replace or delete it in the microapps that use it. |

### **Asset Sharing, Brand Kit, or Internal Share?**
| **Option** | **What It Shares** | **Use It When** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Asset sharing** | An asset library of images, videos, and files. | Several libraries need the same raw assets to build with. |
| **Brand Kit** | A brand’s colors, text styles, and logos, assigned to libraries. | You want consistent styling and logos throughout the Builder. |
| **Internal Share** | A finished microapp, view-only, from one library to others. | Other teams should use a microapp as-is, without editing it. |
### **Troubleshooting**
| **Problem** | **Check** |
| --- | --- |
| **Editors can’t see the shared assets** | Their library is selected on the Asset Sharing tab and the change was saved. Ask them to close and reopen the asset picker. |
| **A shared library looks empty in the picker** | Refresh the Builder. This was fixed in the August 2026 release, so if it continues, submit a ticket at support.tiled.co. |
| **You don’t see the Asset Sharing tab** | You need the Library Admin role on the library that owns the assets. Ask an Account Admin. |
| **An editor can’t change a shared asset** | Shared assets are read-only in receiving libraries. Ask an admin of the owning library to make the change. |
### **Common Questions**
| **Question** | **Answer** |
| --- | --- |
| **Can editors in a receiving library change shared assets?** | No. They can use the assets but not add, change, or delete them. Only admins of the owning library can. |
| **Do I need admin access to the libraries I share with?** | No. You only need the Library Admin role on the library that owns the assets. |
| **Do editors need to do anything to see shared assets?** | No. Shared assets appear in their asset picker automatically once you save. |
| **What happens to microapps when I stop sharing?** | Microapps that already use a shared asset keep it, whether they’re drafts or published. Editors just can’t insert new assets from that library. |
| **Does sharing work in both builders?** | Yes. Shared assets appear in the asset picker in Builder 1.0 and Builder 2.0. |
| **Is there a limit on how many libraries I can share with?** | If you’re sharing with a large number of libraries, submit a ticket at support.tiled.co and we’ll confirm what works best for your account. |
