# Overview

The Asset Library interface gives you multiple ways to explore, search, and manage your media. Let's go through the top navigation panel:

1. **View selector,** switch between *Folder view* (classic folder structure, like on your computer or drive) and *Asset view* (search and filter mode without the limits of sub-folders).
2. **Search bar**, find assets instantly with plain text search across names, titles or descriptions.
3. **Filter bar**, allowing to narrow down the visible assets using the following criteria:
   1. Date, e.g. upload or modification (exact, range)
   2. Format (type and mime-type of file)
   3. Size (exact, range)
   4. Tags (with a OR operation between tags)
   5. Image, properties of the image (orientation, etc.)
4. **Navigator & breadcrumbs** (in Folder view): quickly browse your folder tree.
5. **Sort by**, organize results by name, upload date, modification date, size, or type, in ascending or descending order.
6. **Refresh**, update your view to reflect changes made in the Library by other users in real time.
7. **Display**, choose between tile or list view.
8. **Information**, open details about any asset or folder.
9. **Upload**, add new images or videos via drag-and-drop or API (more details [here](/library/uploader.md))
10. **Add folder**, will add a new folder in the current folder path

Under this top banner, you will find either (in Asset view) the list of Assets currently in your Library, or (in Folder view) the list of folders followed by the list of Assets in the current folder.

## 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://docs.cloudimage.io/library/cloudimage-library/overview.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.
