Unity Asset Manager — February 29, 2024

You can now create your own datasets inside assets in Asset Manager. Datasets are file containers made up of either source files or files referenced from another dataset in an asset. This feature makes it easy to organize the many files you might have in an asset into a context that makes sense to you, such as having a dataset for your game-ready objects or a dataset for your concept art. All of this content makes up an asset and now you can keep them all together without compromising the payload you need from the asset for your project at build time.

API users can now enhance their search queries with wildcard, regex, prefix, and fuzzy searches. This makes it easier to construct powerful searches that return more specific or more generic results depending on users needs. For some examples, refer to the Asset Manager API documentation.

Improved the Add Assets button to better fit the user experience, by making the Add multiple assets, collections, and projects options more accessible. The new Add button invokes a dropdown list with all four options available. The Add Assets button is available on the the All Assets page for users with the appropriate role.
