# Assets

> Search icons, logos, maps, photos and layouts from the task pane, and insert them as native PowerPoint shapes.

The **Assets** tab is a searchable library of things you can put on a slide. Everything it inserts
is native PowerPoint, built against the colour scheme of the slide you are on. Icons and maps come
in as vectors and freeform shapes you can select, recolour and restyle. Nothing lands as a flat
picture of a slide.

## The five libraries

| Library     | What is in it                                                                        |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Layouts** | Slides from the [slide pools](/slide-pools/overview) your workspace has uploaded.    |
| **Icons**   | Generic outline, solid and duotone iconography, browsable by category.               |
| **Logos**   | Company logos, by brand name or domain.                                              |
| **Photos**  | Editorial photography and mockups from Unsplash.                                     |
| **Maps**    | Countries, regions, blocs and administrative subdivisions as editable region shapes. |

Pick a library from the row at the top of the tab. The one you used last is remembered, so the tab
reopens where you left it.

## Searching

Each library has its own search box: `Search icons…`, `Search logos…`,
`Search Unsplash photos…`, `Search maps…`, and `Search decks…` / `Search slides…` for layouts.

Some libraries open on categories rather than results: **Icons** shows icon categories, **Maps**
shows regions, and **Layouts** shows your pools. Type to search across the whole library instead.

* **Back** returns from a category, a pool or a detail view to the level above.
* **Clear search** empties the box and puts the categories back.

<Note>
  A search term belongs to the library you typed it in. Switching from **Maps** to **Icons** does
  not carry `germany` across with it.
</Note>

## Two ways to use a result

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Add to chat" icon="message">
    Hands the asset to the agent as a reference in your next message, and takes you back to the
    **Chat** tab. Use this when the asset is an ingredient, as in "build a three-column layout
    using this icon", rather than something you want on the slide right now.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Add to presentation" icon="square-plus">
    Puts it straight onto the current slide. Several results inserted together arrange themselves
    in a grid. Maps ask you to pick cities and settings first. See [Maps](/assets/maps).
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Or just ask

The agent reaches the same libraries during a chat, so you do not have to browse at all. Ask for
what you want in the message and watch the step rows:

| Step row               | What the agent is doing                                               |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Find icon**          | Semantic search of the icon library.                                  |
| **Find logo**          | Image search for a brand, with a vision model picking the best match. |
| **Find map**           | Ranking map presets for a country, bloc or admin level.               |
| **Searching layouts**  | Ranking your slide pools for a layout that fits.                      |
| **Suggesting layouts** | Showing you candidate layouts to choose from.                         |

Browsing is better when you want to see the options. Asking is better when the asset is one part of
a slide the agent is building anyway.

## Photos

**Photos** lists results as soon as you open it; type into `Search Unsplash photos…` to search
license-cleared editorial photography and mockups — scenes, workplaces, product shots. Insert
several at once and they arrange in a grid, which is a quick way to lay out a mood board.

<Frame caption="Photos, with the library row and search box every library shares.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/pretty/4jW_x65Dsg1NZGSs/images/assets-photos.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=4jW_x65Dsg1NZGSs&q=85&s=ce3de353a19d170a08de7a4f923ebe9c" alt="Photos library showing a grid of editorial photographs, the Icons, Logos, Photos, Maps and Layouts row, and the search box" style={{ maxWidth: '354px', width: '100%', display: 'block', margin: '0 auto' }} width="643" height="900" data-path="images/assets-photos.png" />
</Frame>

Search for the scene, not the metaphor: `warehouse aisle` returns usable photos,
`supply chain excellence` does not. Photo search matches what is visible in the frame, so describe
the thing in front of the camera and let the headline carry the idea. If a headline is going over
the photo, pick a frame with a quiet area — sky, a wall, an out-of-focus background.

<Note>
  The agent does not search photos on its own the way it searches icons, logos and maps. To bring a
  specific photo into a slide it is building, find it here and use **Add to chat**.
</Note>

## Your workspace's own libraries

A workspace can add libraries of its own — approved photography, a house icon set — and they
appear in the same row alongside the built-in ones, searched exactly the same way. A workspace
admin sets them up from the web editor.

## Each library in detail

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Icons" icon="icons" href="/assets/icons">
    Semantic search over outline, solid and duotone icons, recoloured to your master.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Logos" icon="trademark" href="/assets/logos">
    Brand-accurate logos, plus the **Switch Logo** tab for swapping one in place.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Maps" icon="map" href="/assets/maps">
    Editable region shapes, city dots, labels and legends.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Layouts" icon="layer-group" href="/slide-pools/overview">
    Browse your workspace's approved slides and insert them two ways.
  </Card>
</Columns>
