Manage files on the Assets page
The Assets page lists the files you saved to Managed storage. To open it, go to Assets in Neo Product Catalog Flipbook.
Files arrive here only when you upload with Managed storage while creating a flipbook. The page has no upload button. Files in Shopify Files aren’t listed here: manage those under Content → Files in your Shopify admin.
What the page shows
Section titled “What the page shows”| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Name | The file name. If flipbooks use the file, a line below names them, for example “In use by Spring catalog, Lookbook”. |
| Type | PDF or Image |
| Size | The file size in MB |
| Uploaded | The upload date |
Each row also has a copy button and a Delete button. With no files yet, the page says “No files in managed storage yet”. There’s no limit on how many files you can keep, on any plan.
Copy a file’s link
Section titled “Copy a file’s link”Click the copy button on a row to copy the file’s link. You see “Copied”. Anyone with the link can open the file.
Delete a file
Section titled “Delete a file”Click Delete on the file’s row. The app asks you to confirm:
Delete “spring-catalog.pdf”? Its link will stop working.
Confirm, and you see “File deleted.” Deleting a flipbook doesn’t delete its files, so this is how you clear out files you no longer need, including uploads you never used.
Files in use can’t be deleted
Section titled “Files in use can’t be deleted”While any flipbook uses a file, its Delete button is turned off. This includes hidden flipbooks. If you try from a page that’s out of date, you see a message such as “This file is used by Spring catalog and Lookbook. Remove it from those flipbooks first.”
To free a file:
- An image: open each image flipbook that uses it, remove that page on the Pages tab, and click Save. See Reorder or remove pages.
- A PDF: a flipbook’s PDF can’t be swapped, so delete the flipbook that uses it. See Manage your flipbooks.
Then reload the Assets page and delete the file.
