Rename assets for user clarity

When you import an asset to your content library, the original filename is used in Showpad. On the user side, these filenames are displayed in the Showpad apps. Customers and prospects see the same filename when your users share their content. 

To avoid confusion and clutter, you can modify an asset’s filename to something that will be easy for everyone to understand.

Note: While you can use special characters, be mindful of how your users search for content. When adding a hyphen to an asset name, for example, "intro-deck", the asset gets treated as two separate words in the search results, "intro", and "deck."
