# Asset Versions

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

For example, a low-resolution representation (thumbnail or web-res) of a print-quality photo. Each Version of a file is saved as a Version of the Asset.

In the below example, there are multiple Versions of the same Asset (original, thumbnail, web). Click on the different Versions to be able to view/comment on them.

### Adding Versions

To upload a new Version of an Asset, **click the plus sign** next to the different existing Versions of the Asset. A prompt will appear asking for a Version name and a file to upload. Type in a name for your new Version (or the name of an existing Version to replace it), select the Asset, then **click** ‘**Start Upload’**. The file will be added to the [Upload Queue](/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/upload/uploading-new-assets.md#upload-queue).

### Automated Versioning

You can 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](/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/assets/asset-detail-page.md), or using the ‘Automations’ option in [Library Actions](/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/library/library-actions.md).

The ‘Generate super-resolution’ option is only available from the Asset Detail page, and may be used on small (< 16 MB) .jpeg or .jpeg images. This option will use deep learning AI to generate a large version with increased resolution.

[See: Watermarking](/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/assets/watermarking.md) for more details on watermarked Versions.

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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.hivo.co/~/changes/eaCuYFhybbREuBouwZp6/assets/asset-versions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
