If you attach correct preview image when saving, this will reflect across workshop when sharing and updating.Note that once you set the correct preview image on the Asset itself, it usually won't be necessary to do anything when updating or sharing, since this will be pre-loaded from the file. The process is the same for both operations, so I will show you how to change the preview image that gets attached to the file, and then you can do the same thing later if you desire to have a different one for the Workshop. You must do this from the Asset Editor 'Save' window. In order to change the original preview image on the file. When you click Share, or Update, you can change the preview image, as you may already know.īut changing it from here only changes the Workshop preview image, and NOT the file's attached preview image(content manager preview image). This image will also be pre-loaded as a Workshop preview image when you click Share or Update in the Content manager. This preview image is attached to the asset file when you click save and becomes the file's main preview image, which will always show both in the content manager of the end user, as well as on the Load Asset screen when the asset is selected. This is especially useful for Trees, since there is no snapshot tool available for them. You also have the option to click on the little folder icon and put your own custom preview image here, just like you do when sharing an item or updating.

When you save an asset in the Asset Editor, you can choose to attach a snapshot from the game's Snapshot tool as a preview image for the item, as you surely know already. Let me begin by explaining the difference between Workshop and Content Manager preview image.
