# How to Add Linked Files and Text

Learn how to add associated files and text to collections and assets, as well as asset files.

The Metadata & Tags page also allows users to add both associated files and linked text to both collections and assets. For specific assets, you can also view and edit asset files.

## Linked Files&#x20;

You can add any file (in any file type) and associate them with a whole collection and a specific asset. Use the Collection Taxonomy tab to add a linked file to a whole collection and the Asset Specific Taxonomy tab to add linked file to a specific asset. Once a file is added, you can download or delete it.

## Linked Text&#x20;

You can add any freeform text and associate them with a whole collection and a specific asset. Use the Collection Taxonomy tab to add linked text to a whole collection and the Asset Specific Taxonomy tab to add linked text to a specific asset. Linked text is automatically saved and can be edited or deleted at any time.

Only available on the Asset Specific Taxonomy tab since these files are asset specific. You can view the **texture and material files** of a specific 3D asset. These files are currently only viewable for zipped .obj assets. You can download or edit each asset file. If you click edit, you'll be moved to the [Model Editor](broken://pages/-MVhMWAbyJ48u-SDBsnb), where you can update these asset files through a 3D model-specific editor.
