Prop detail page
Click any prop in the Cloud Library to open its detail page. The page looks the same in the web library and the desktop app. A header with the prop’s identity and main actions stays at the top, and four tabs below it answer different questions: Overview (is this the prop I need?), Dependencies (what do I get if I pull it?), Feedback (what do people think?) and History (where did it come from?).
Header
Section titled “Header”The prop’s name is followed by badges: its asset class and type, variant information, Deprecated, Nanite, its review state, and a preview badge (Preview ready, No preview or Preview unavailable).
If the prop is deprecated, a banner explains that it’s hidden from search results by default but can still be pulled.
The action buttons on the right:
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Check out | Locks the prop for your edits so teammates see it’s taken. When someone holds it, the icon’s tooltip says who. The holder can click it to Release lock; an admin can Force release someone else’s lock. See Check-out and check-in. |
| Watch (bell) | Watch the prop to get its comments in your Inbox, or click again to mute it. See Notifications. |
| Download | Saves the prop’s file. See Pull and download. |
| Pull | Opens Pull to project to deliver the prop and its dependencies into an Unreal project. See Pull jobs. Disabled for props with no engine path. |
| More actions | A menu with Rename and Edit category…, plus admin-only actions (below). |
Rename turns the name into a text field; click Save or Cancel. Edit category… opens a dialog with the Category field and a Lock category checkbox that keeps the category you set when new versions of the prop are pushed. Click Save category to apply.
Admins also see:
- Deprecate (or Reactivate for a deprecated prop). Deprecated props are hidden from search by default but stay pullable, and existing references keep working.
- Add to denylist blocks future check-ins of this prop, including edited copies of it. See Admin pages.
- Delete asset… permanently deletes the prop and its version history after you confirm. It’s disabled once the prop has been pulled or downloaded; deprecate it instead.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The Overview tab shows:
- Variants, when the prop belongs to a variant group or has labeled variants in its history. Check the variants you want and click Pull selected variants (N) to pull them side by side.
- Thumbnail, the static thumbnail.
- Tags. Add a tag with the Add tag button (you can create a new tag there) or remove one from its chip.
- Collections. Check or uncheck a collection to add or remove the prop.
- The specification, grouped into Geometry (triangles, vertices, LODs, Nanite, collision, bounds), Materials & textures (materials, textures, max texture resolution, PBR channels, blend mode, two-sided) and Source (source app, authored date). Textures, audio, skeletal meshes, animations and VFX add a Type details group with dimensions, format, duration, sample rate, channels, bones, length or emitters as they apply.
- The preview, when the prop type has one:
- 3D preview for meshes: drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, right-drag to pan. The model turns slowly on its own.
- Texture preview for textures.
- Audio preview with a player for sounds.
- Similar assets, a strip of the most visually similar props in the library.
Dependencies
Section titled “Dependencies”- Pull preview is a tree of everything a pull of this prop delivers, starting from the prop itself. The header shows the total number of files and bytes and a count per asset class. Use Expand all and Collapse all for deep trees, and Pull this to open the pull dialog. A file marked shared ×N is also required by N other props.
- Used by is the reverse tree: every prop that depends on this one, with direct references marked. It tells you what could be affected if this prop changes.
- File lists the Content hash (with a copy button), Blob size, Source format and Engine version.
Feedback
Section titled “Feedback”Everything about reviewing and discussing the prop:
- The review panel, where you see and change the review state and request a review. See Reviews.
- Annotations: markup drawn on captures of the prop, each with its own discussion. See Annotations.
- General comments. See Comments.
The Feedback tab label shows the number of comments.
History
Section titled “History”- Provenance lists the Pack, the Origin path in the engine project (with a copy button), a View version history link, the lineage Anchor, the Package GUID when known, who Published it and when, and the Indexed and Updated dates.
- Activity lists everything that happened to this prop: pushes, restores, locks, downloads and more.
Version history
Section titled “Version history”View version history on the History tab opens the Version history page for the prop’s lineage. Each version shows its content hash, a Current version badge on the one the prop currently shows, its asset name, size, engine version, who published it and when, and the pack it came from.
Each version has two actions:
- Restore this version (then Confirm restore) makes that version the current one. Nothing is deleted; the newer versions stay in the history.
- Pull this version opens the pull dialog pinned to that exact version.
See Versions for how versions and restores work.
