# Upload Assets

Opens a dialog for uploading assets into the project. Assets can only be uploaded when a profile is selected. Since a profile always contains a stream, a HIO job is created in the dashboard for each uploaded asset, which is processed via a render node. Each asset is first uploaded to a temporary folder that can be configured via the Preference menu.
