# Upload

Uploading Assets to your library is the first step for you to start managing your assets more easily 😘. And here are some important things to keep in mind when you upload new assets on HIVO:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Before uploading" %}

* Make sure you have the 'Can Upload Assets' permission. This permission is granted by the HIVO administrator.
* Prepare your asset files: HIVO supports many different file formats, including images, videos, audio and documents.
* Identify the metadata information you want to add to your asset. Metadata information will help you easily search and manage assets later.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="While uploading" %}

* Can upload multiple assets at once (called batch) and perform a series of actions on those uploads, such as adding new metadata fields or running facial recognition on people detected in images or adding stickers to make it easier to find.
* You can add detailed information about your assets, such as description, copyright, and license.
* You can automate some tasks, such as creating thumbnails and detecting faces.
* You can track your upload progress in Upload Queue.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="After upload" %}

* Your assets will be added to the Library or Collection or both
* You can bulk edit asset metadata information via Library Action or individual assets in the Asset Detail Page.
* You can share your assets with other users even if they are not internal, such as customers
* You can approve, create briefs and assign tasks associated with that asset and more!
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}
