Projects, Brand Kits, and Assets are connected without becoming duplicate document systems. Projects own editable documents, Brand Kits reference approved identity choices, and the Asset Library adds reusable metadata around one stored image.
Home and Projects show work tied to the signed-in account and workspace. Opening a project enters its layered Canvas and loads one DesignDocument authority. Archiving or moving a project to trash changes workspace metadata; it does not silently rewrite the document snapshot.
Assets keep bytes and metadata separate
Imported and generated image bytes enter the Asset repository before an ImageLayer can reference them. The Asset Library records role, tags, source and license facts, and archive state around that same Asset instead of copying the image for each project.
Brand Kits are bounded inputs
A Brand Kit owns palette, typography, voice, prohibited terms, and a stable logo Asset reference. Applying a kit creates a checkpoint and one document-command batch. Agent requests receive an immutable snapshot rather than permission to mutate the kit.
Deletion follows references
Hide or archive is reversible. Permanent deletion is available only after Retake checks current projects, named Versions, and Brand Kits for references. Remove those references deliberately before deleting the shared Asset.
Does using one Asset in two projects duplicate its bytes?
No. Cross-document metadata references the same stored Asset record; projects keep references inside their own DesignDocument snapshots.
What happens when I archive an Asset?
It leaves normal library browsing but remains available to documents that already reference it. Archiving is reversible and does not break project rendering.
Cookie choices
Your cookie choices
Necessary cookies and similar storage keep sign-in, security, and private workspace recovery working. Retake uses Google Analytics Consent Mode for basic website and product measurement; you can separately allow analytics storage and Google One Tap.
Choosing necessary only keeps analytics and advertising storage denied. Google Analytics can still receive cookieless measurement signals, but Retake does not send prompts, files, project identifiers, or card details.
