  • Raster or supporting asset available

Raster and other supporting file assets typically belong in File Manager when they need to be retained and referenced by the platform without being turned into managed vector datasets.

Why this distinction matters

The platform treats managed datasets and reusable files differently. File Manager is where you preserve the asset as a file-oriented input or reference.
