Unity Asset Manager — June 13, 2024

Asset versioning is now available in Asset Manager. Changes made to assets and their elements like source files, metadata can be saved and tracked with a linear versioning system. Changes like modifying 3D files, adding tags, changing the name of the asset are all tracked in one place. Each version has its own status and individual versions can be easily identified by custom labels.

Highlights

Asset versions are saved in a linear sequence, for example, V1, V2, V3.

You can create a new version from any old version.

You can have multiple unsaved or Unfrozen versions that you or your team can edit at any time.

Each version has its own status like Draft, Approved, Rejected. This helps you to know which versions have been approved or not.

Once a version is saved or Frozen, it can't be changed. You have to create a new version to change any files or metadata.

The most recently saved version will always have the Latest label.

Asset Manager Admins can create custom version labels for the Organization. These labels can be used by any Project Contributor to apply to a version.
