[BETA] Revamped Asset Manager

Start a DM with me if you’d like to share additional nonpublic details, but some things off the top of my head:

  • Make sure you’re on the latest version of Studio (should be 0.669)
  • Make sure there’s no “Update available” button at the top right of Studio
    If that doesn’t work, I can take a further look into why it’s not showing up for you.

Is it possible that the recent update has introduced an unintended side effect? Several of us are currently encountering issues with saving in Studio. The following error is being displayed:

“Server Save Failure: PublishService AssetUpload failed. Info: UploadStatusPolling max polling retry reached”

I’m not sure if this is related in any way, but after this update i’m running into major uploading issues via Asset Manager

It’s not even letting me upload images

Thanks for the response!

We are still scoping out how folders will work. Currently the leaning towards a flexible system that lets you organize assets in whatever way works for you and your team.

Team would love to hear more on how you organize things across your projects or your computer or cloud storage services … any info helps!

You can do something similar with multicursor in the script editor + this new Asset Manager!

  1. Select multiple assets with shift click or command click
  2. Right-click and select “Copy Asset Ids”. This should copy a table to your clipboard that looks like: [123,456,789]
  3. Paste in your script and use multicursor (I use cmd+D) to put a cursor before every ID and add the necessary formatting.

It is a pain currently to also carry the asset name over since that isn’t copied right now, we’ll take that feedback into account!

Our team is aware of this issue; currently there’s no link between it and the new Asset Manager release. Do let us know if you notice anything otherwise (for example, if disabling the Asset Manager beta fixes the issue), but otherwise, sit tight as we’re working on fixing that issues ASAP :pray:

Thanks for the details! Yes, correct, toolbox will continue to exist - will likely get a new name like “Store” once inventory related tabs are removed. TBD on the naming stuff.

In this new beta, the assets you purchased/get for free are available in Asset Manager along with the assets you’ve created. You can use the filters or search to find them (source should say ‘Creator Store’), and when we have folders you’ll be able to neatly organize them any way you want for even easier access.

I can have a chat with store team about their plans to make assets you’ve acquired from the store easier in their product as well.

Thanks so much for the feedback! Hope you enjoy the beta :slight_smile:

I am also having this error; I’ve noticed that after 5-10 minutes of getting the error message my ROBLOX Studio disconnects me from my game and goes to the “Attempting to reconnect” screen just for the cycle to restart itself.

can’t import anything with or without the beta enabled. got this awesome message instead

This update has nothing to do with the outage. The issue is entirely unrelated. Please use your eyes.

To actually contribute to this thread—I don’t have much to add personally (though I’m sure this is a significant improvement for those who heavily use the Asset Manager). However, it’s great to see the engineers communicating so openly with everyone!! :slightly_smiling_face:

Ohh I understand, my bad!
At first (based on RDC announcement), I thought the toolbox would be completely removed, I’m usually using that for placeholder models and I don’t want it to be gone, but if it’s going to stay, that’s fine.

That was all I was concerned about, thanks for letting me know

I like and don’t like the update because some easy things become more complicate for me personally. I have my very old assets mixed with my new ones and I don’t need to see them.
Also how I create a new place ID for my game ?

Thanks for the feedback!

To create a new place in your game, you can right-click anywhere in the browser on the right side and there should be an option “Add New Place”

As for old and new assets, to help with that, you can try sorting the assets based on “Date Modified” or “Date Created” (Date Created is a column you can show by right-clicking on the list header if viewing in list mode)

If you have more feedback and questions, don’t hesitate to let us know!

Alright, thank you for the clarifications!
I also don’t have a big computer screen, I wonder if it would be possible to not hide completely the search bar until I need to scale then it takes more space on my screen.
Instead of hiding the search bar I would like to suggest to add it above the rest in the asset manager window :


– > (currently)

→ ?

EDIT :
I just noticed this very small button, I didn’t know what this button was doing, I thought it would scale the page but no ! So feel free to ignore my suggestion!

Also I reverted to the old asset manager because when I imported assets, they loaded endlessly, and when I put in the old one, it loaded correctly.

This is cool, but our game isnt saving… is there a new button for that or is this a bug?

If only there was a banner on the top of the forums that linked to the status page detailing the problem…

thanks for the feedback! This is on our radar, and we’re targeting support later this year. We’ll have more details on the timing the next couple of months.
