### Tree + Asset View

Tree + Asset View combines Tree View and Asset View. Your folder tree appears on the left, and on the right you see every asset in the selected folder and all of its subfolders, with no folder tiles in the way.

Use it when you want to browse by folder but see all the content in one place. For example, select Marketing to see every Marketing asset, including those in subfolders, without opening each one.

**To use Tree + Asset View:**

1. Click View Mode in the top right of the Library.
2. Select Tree + Asset View.
3. Click a folder in the tree. The assets on the right update to show everything in that folder and below it.

**Good to know:**

* At the top level of the Library, you see every asset you have access to.
* The breadcrumb, Add Assets and Create Folder all work on the folder you've selected in the tree, just as they do in Tree View.
* On smaller screens, the tree shows above the assets instead of beside them.
* Your choice is remembered, so the Library opens in Tree + Asset View next time.
* Admins can set it as the default Library view.

# 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/library/library-view-modes.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.
