Hello Creators,
We’re hard at work rolling out new features and improvements for our revamped Asset Manager, to help make your Studio workflows more efficient for all of your asset management needs!
Big features are coming to the revamped Asset Manager this year, and this is the first announcement with many more features to come. If you haven’t already, check out the original announcement of the revamped Asset Manager here.
Where can I find the new Asset Manager?
In Roblox Studio, go to File → Beta Features and enable the beta revamped Asset Manager, and then restart Studio. Open Asset Manager by clicking Window → Asset Manager.
Finding assets is now even easier
Recent Uploads
A ‘Recents’ view has been added to the sidebar to make it easy to find assets that have been uploaded. The most recently uploaded assets are shown at the top, and these recents persist for the remainder of the session.
Asset ID Search
It is now possible to search for Asset IDs in Asset Manager. There are many ways you can format these searches:
assetid=<id><id>rbxassetid://<id>
You can include asset ids alongside normal search terms, and you can even search for multiple asset ids at once by separating them with spaces. Note that, similar to lexical and semantic search, you must select an inventory and asset type to search asset ids.
Search Query Language
In addition to Asset ID search, a broader query language has been introduced for search that allows searching by a wider range of attributes, such as time created and time updated. Examples include:
car created_after=2025-08-17car createdBefore:08-17-2025car updatedBefore=[Mar 10, 2026](the square brackets [] are required for spaces)
Check out the documentation here to see all that this new query language can do.
Find in Explorer
You can now quickly locate asset instances in your workspace by selecting any number of assets, including of different types, and then right clicking → Find in Explorer. Asset Manager will attempt to select all instances in the Explorer. This works for everything from Audio to Models/Packages.
Redesigned Filters
Asset Filtering has been redesigned, and all filters are now one click away!
New features include:
- Unified filters in one place: Asset Type, Source, and Creator
- Ability to hide the filters you don’t want to see by collapsing the group
- Search for the filters you want! Examples include “Mesh” or “Audio,Creator”
Bulk asset sharing
It’s now possible to share assets in bulk directly from Asset Manager, so you no longer need to visit the Roblox Creator Hub to do this. This is currently limited to up to 50 assets, but we have plans to raise this limit significantly in the near future.
Quick Share
You can share assets in bulk with your connections, groups, and experiences by selecting the assets and right clicking –> Share –> With Collaborators. You can add up to 10 collaborators/experiences to share with at once, and then click Share. You will also be shown warnings if you attempt to share assets you don’t have permission to share.
Open Use Share
You can also make your Mesh, Image, and Decal assets Open Use in bulk by selecting the assets and right clicking → Share → Make Open Use. Be careful with this option, as Open Use is a permanent action! You will be asked to confirm before the changes are made.
Workflow efficiency improvements
Animation Instance Insert
It is now possible to directly insert Animation instances as opposed to KeyframeSequences from Asset Manager. This option is presented upon selecting any set of Animation assets, then right click –> Insert –> Insert as Animation. You can still opt to insert as KeyframeSequences via right click –> Insert –> Insert as Keyframes.
Version History Management
The version history tab for Model Assets and Packages is now available in the Asset Config dialog when you right click on a singular asset → Edit Asset. You can view previous versions, update version notes, and revert versions directly in Studio.
Copy Asset Info to CSV
Right clicking on any selection of assets and then clicking Copy → Copy Info will copy the asset metadata to your clipboard in CSV format. It includes the columns you have displayed in the List View. To change the columns included, change your View Type to List and right click on the Header Bar:
Improved navigation
Navigation history/buttons
History is now tracked when you navigate between inventories! Back and forward navigation buttons have been added, so it’s now easier to move between inventories.
Sidebar updates
The Sidebar toggle button has been relocated! You can now also use the ‘tab’ key to toggle it on the fly. Selecting an inventory will now automatically close the Explorer view when using the Asset Manager in a ‘skinny’ or vertical layout.
What’s coming in the future?
Big features are still yet to come. Full support for folders is in the works, allowing you to better organize your assets. Other enhancements such as drag and drop to insert assets and enhanced vertical docking are also coming soon.
With these new updates, the revamped Asset Manager will soon graduate from beta and replace the legacy Asset Manager. We are also working to enable versioning support for Mesh and Image assets. Stay tuned for our next big announcements.
Your feedback is essential!
As always, we want to hear your feedback to help shape the future of the Asset Manager and to prioritize the most impactful features to help make your workflows more productive. Share your thoughts with us here after exploring these new features, and let us know if you have any questions.
Known issues
- Open Use sharing will fail for Decal assets if the respective Image assets have not yet been made Open Use. A warning banner will be added to address this.
- ‘Find in Explorer’ does not yet have a notification when no instances are found.
