You can interact with an asset’s published attributes the same way you would interact with any other node’s attributes. With the asset node selected, you can:

• Use the Channel Box to edit the values of each published attribute directly.
• Use the Attribute Editor to edit the values in the Published Attributes section with widgets such as sliders.

NoteBy default, a published attribute is displayed in the Attribute Editor with the same widget it uses in its own Attribute Editor instance (for example, booleans show a checkbox, colors show a slider and color swatch, etc). This also means that if you publish translateX, translateY, and translateZ for an object in your asset, the Attribute Editor displays those attributes as a field with three values instead of as three individual sliders. You can still modify each of these values with a virtual slider by holding + and dragging the appropriate field left or right with the mouse. If you prefer to have three sliders display, you can set up an asset template with a customized view. See Add a view to an asset template.

The Attribute Editor also allows you to modify the asset’s attributes such as the type, owner, creation date, associated template, view, and icon. All these options can be found under the Asset Attributes heading. You can also add additional information about the asset using the Notes field.
