Summary: Assets are the necessary files and folders that are automatically created when a new section is created. Assets are located inside the section folder, in a folder called '_assets'.
Do not confuse the _assets folder, with Assets, which are reusable snippets of code that can be created once, and conveniently placed on an unlimited number of pages, making it easy to update common content. For information about Assets, please contact the Web Coordinator.
