Moving or renaming Assets should be done in the Content Browser. If an Asset is referenced by other Assets, a menu displays asking which existing Asset (if any) should be used in place of the deleted one. You can delete Assets within the Content Browser, either by using the option in the context menu on the Asset, or by selecting the Asset and pressing the Delete key. All Assets that referenced a Redirector will point to the Asset in its new location, then remove the Redirector. Redirectors can be cleaned up by right-clicking in the Content Browser and selecting Fix Up Redirectors in Folder. When renamed or moved in this way, other Assets that refer to the renamed or moved Asset will be updated appropriately, and an invisible Redirector will be left in place of the original Asset. Assets can be moved or copied to different folders by being selected and dragged in the Content Browser. For example, a path of Content/Characters/M圜haracter would save to /UE4/MyProject/Content/Characters/M圜haracter.M圜haracter.uasset.Īn Asset can be renamed in the Editor by selecting it in the Content Browser, then left-clicking on its name or pressing the F2 key. The folder in which the Asset is created or imported automatically sets this path. The Asset's path is directly associated with the Asset's location on disk. The user names an Asset when importing or creating it.

Level (.umap) files are not affected by this restriction.įor more information on using the Content Browser to move, rename, add, and delete Assets, see Working with Assets. You can move Asset files between folders outside of the Unreal Editor, but do not expect references to remain intact. If you move an Asset, its path will change. This is because references to Assets include the full directory path to the Asset.

It is recommended that you move Assets from within the Content Browser.
