# How to Edit Content in a Workroom

Workrooms in Assette allow team members to collaborate using shared content that is based on approved templates from the Assette Library. To make any changes to content within a Workroom, users must first copy the approved Library content into the desired Workroom. This article explains the process for editing that content and outlines how those edits behave.

## Step 1: Copy Content from the Library

Before editing any content in a Workroom, users must first create a local copy of the approved content:

1. Navigate to the **Assette Library** and locate the content you wish to work with (e.g., a Smart Page or Smart Doc).
2. Click the ellipses icon (`...`) next to the content and select **Copy to Workroom**.
3. Choose the appropriate **Workroom** from the list and confirm the copy action.

Once the content has been successfully copied, it will appear in the selected Workroom and will be available for editing.

## Step 2: Edit the Workroom Copy

After the content has been copied to a Workroom:

- Open the Workroom and locate the content you copied.
- Click into the content to begin editing.
- Make your desired modifications using the standard editing tools provided within the Smart Page, Smart Doc, or other content editor.

Any edits made in the Workroom are **isolated to that specific copy**. This ensures that:

- The original version in the Assette Library remains unchanged.
- Other users who have also copied the same content into a different workspace or Workroom will not be affected by your edits.
- Collaboration within your Workroom is preserved without impacting institutional templates.

## Editing the Original Version

If your intent is to update or revise the **original version** of content found in the Assette Library, you must:

- Navigate to the appropriate authoring area (e.g., **Smart Pages**, **Smart Docs**).
- Locate the original content.
- Make and publish your changes directly within those respective sections.

Only users with the necessary authoring permissions can update content in the source areas that feed the Assette Library.
