# Sensitive Assets

## What happens when an Asset is marked as Sensitive?

Sensitive assets will have a 'Sensitive' watermark on the thumbnail image in the Library. Users with the [User Right to be able to view sensitive assets](/client-profile/users/list-of-user-rights.md) will still be able to search for sensitive assets in the regular search results. You can use the Library's "sensitive" filter (click the down arrow in the search bar) to see only sensitive content:

### Default Sensitive Settings in Client Profile

To set a blanket rule to mark all assets in the account as sensitive after a certain date, navigate to Client Profile => Settings tab => [Sensitive Settings](https://support.hivo.co/client-profile/client-profile-settings/sensitive-settings). Here you can set a Client-wide default sensitivity date and configure options to notify Admins when Assets are marked as sensitive.
