# Asset Versions

An Asset Version is a derivative of a file that is based on the original source.

An Asset on HIVO can have many different versions, such as original, web, thumbnail, watermarked and any other version, etc. Each version of an Asset represents a separate file with different sizes and properties. The metadat on Asset versions, however, is kept the same to avoid duplication of assets stored in your account.

## Viewing Different Versions on Asset Detail Page

In the example image, there are multiple versions of the same Asset (eg. original, thumbnail, web versions). You can click on the different versions to view, comment or perform actions on them.

## Automated Versioning

HIVO will automatically generate **web**, **thumbnail, super-resolution and watermarked** **versions** of Assets. This can be done while uploading by ticking the respective options under the ‘Automations’ section of the [‘Asset Details’ step](/assets/asset-detail-page.md), or using the ‘Automations’ option in [Library Actions](/library/library-actions.md).

Note: Admins can configure the settings for automated versions from the [Version Settings page](/client-profile/client-profile-settings/asset-and-metadata-management/version-settings.md) in the Client Profile.

## Create a Super Resolution Image

Users can up-res, or increasae the quality, of an image from the Asset Detail page. The ‘Generate super-resolution’ may be used on small (< 16 MB) .jpeg or .jpeg images. This option will use AI to generate a larger version with increased resolution.&#x20;

How to create Generate super-resolution image:

* Navigate to the Asset Detail page
* Select the Asset version you would like to improve the resolution for
* Click on the spanner customisations icon
* The click the Actions button
* Then click 'Create Super Resolution Version'

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://support.hivo.co/assets/asset-versions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
