The Digital Asset Inventory is a tool that helps you understand what files exist on your website and where they are being used.
It allows you to:
The inventory does not change content automatically. It provides visibility so you can make informed decisions.
The Digital Asset Inventory works with Drupal 10 and Drupal 11.
Your site administrator is responsible for system requirements. Content editors do not need to take action.
Over time, most websites collect files that are outdated, unused, or forgotten.
This tool helps you:
The inventory tracks both files stored on your site and links to external resources.
Examples include:
External items are tracked for awareness, even though the site does not control them.
Access is controlled by permissions.
If you cannot see a page or perform an action:
Contact your site administrator and explain what task you are trying to complete.
The tools you should use depend on your role and the type of content you are working with. Some professional tools require a license and are typically used by technical teams or accessibility specialists.
Yes. Even in a multisite environment, the Digital Asset Inventory works one site at a time.
While multisite websites may share the same underlying code, each website has its own content and database. When the Digital Asset Inventory is enabled on a site, it scans only that site's pages and files.
This ensures that file usage and archiving decisions are accurate for each individual website.
Each website manages its own content.
A document might be used on one site but not used on another — even if the sites share the same system behind the scenes.
Enabling the tool separately on each site ensures:
No.
Even if multiple websites share the same code or file storage location, the Digital Asset Inventory only looks at how files are used within the current website's content.
Because of this, inventory results and archiving decisions are always made at the individual site level.
