# Asset Hierarchy

Hierarchies allow you to create logical connections between different assets in the same collection.

This allows you to traverse through the collection and link assets together.

A hierarchy is set by defining a parent-child relationship tree.

## Adding to Hierarchy

To add a new child or parent to an asset, click the **+Add Child** or **+Add Parent** buttons.

You will then be prompted to select the asset to connect from your collection.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Cyclical hierarchy structures are not supported. Adding relationships that would result in such a structure will be rejected.
{% endhint %}

## Removing from Hierarchy

To unlink a relationship, click the **X** button in the top right corner of the parent or child asset.
