Add or remove favorite assets

There are several ways to add assets to your site’s Favorites list in the Assets panel.

Adding a color or URL to the Favorites list requires an extra step. You can’t add new colors or URLs to the Site list; the Site list contains only assets that are already in use in your site.

Note: There are no Favorites lists for templates and library items.

Add assets to the Favorites list

Do one of the following:

  • Select one or more assets in the Site list of the Assets panel, then click the Add To Favorites button .

  • Select one or more assets in the Site list of the Assets panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Add To Favorites.

  • Select one or more files in the Files panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Add To Favorites. Dreamweaver ignores files that don’t correspond to a category in the Assets panel.

  • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) an element in the Document window’s Design view, then select the context menu command to add the element to a Favorites category.

    The context menu for text contains either Add To Color Favorites or Add To URL Favorites, depending on whether the text has a link attached. You can add only those elements that match one of the categories in the Assets panel.

Add a new color or URL to the Favorites list

  1. In the Assets panel, select the Colors or URLs category.
  2. Select the Favorites option at the top of the panel.
  3. Click the New Color or New URL button .
  4. Do one of the following:

    • Select a color using the color picker, then give the color a nickname if desired.

      To close the color picker without selecting a color, press Esc or click the gray bar at the top of the color picker.

    • Enter a URL and a nickname in the Add New URL dialog box, then click OK.

Remove assets from the Favorites list

  1. In the Assets panel, select the Favorites option at the top of the panel.
  2. Select one or more assets (or a folder) in the Favorites list.
  3. Click the Remove From Favorites button .

    The assets are removed from the Favorites list, but not from the Site list. If you remove a Favorites folder, the folder and all its contents are removed.
