Table of contents will be added

Related Assets is a feature that helps you quickly find similar assets. Acquia DAM automatically keeps track of relevant information to help you locate just the right assets. You'll find them listed in interactive carousels in [Asset Digest](What-can-I-find-in-the-Asset-Digest) and on the [Asset Details page](/acquia-dam/where-can-i-see-asset-details "Where can I see asset details?").

The carousels display a thumbnail preview and filename for each related asset. Clicking a thumbnail will take you to that asset's info page. Use the arrows to scroll through the assets.

  
Related by metadata
----------------------

The Related assets by metadata carousel is populated by a live search that looks for assets with similar metadata content and filenames as well as inclusion in collections. The more information they share, the more closely related they are. More closely related assets are listed first.

  
Related by product
---------------------

The Related assets by product carousel is connected to the Entries app. If the current asset is assigned to a product, you'll see other assets assigned to the same product here. If the current asset has no related assets by product, this carousel is not displayed.  
 

Recently viewed
---------------

The final tab is populated with assets that you've recently viewed in DAM.
