How can I manage content/assets?

The Asset Management tool allows administrators to exclude or include content assets for specific audiences. You can manage exclusions by single assets, topic filters, or asset IDs. 

This applies to Discovery Education Experience and Techbook assets only.

How do I navigate the Asset Management tool? 

You have two tabs that you can access from Asset Management. The Excluded Assets tab, and the Topic Filters tab. 

Excluded Assets Tab

Use this tab to review all assets currently excluded from your audience.

What you can do:

• Filter assets by type, publisher, or keyword to find specific items.
• View details such as audience, asset group type, publisher, and who applied the exclusion (school, district, or DE staff).
• Remove exclusions for individual assets (if allowed).

Note: District-level exclusions override school/site decisions. If an asset is excluded by the district:

• School/site admins cannot change it.
• Options will appear disabled.
• District-level exclusions cannot be undone.

Topic Filters Tab

Topic filters are pre-created by the Discovery Education team to group related resources. To access, follow these steps: 

1. Go to the Topic Filters tab.
2. Review each filter to see the number of resources included.
3. Use the dropdown menu to set inclusion/exclusion:
• Include for teachers and students (default)
• Exclude for students
• Exclude for teachers and students

Note: You cannot edit the resource list within a topic filter, this is informational only. 

How do I exclude assets?

You have three ways to exclude assets:

Exclude Assets via Search

1. Navigate to Exclude Assets via Search from the Excluded Assets tab. 
2. Use Filters to narrow results by asset type (i.e. Lessons, Activities, Interactions, etc.) or audience (i.e. Students or Students & Teachers). 
3. Select specific assets to exclude, or you can choose to exclude all. 

Exclude Assets from Topic Filter

1. From the Topic Filter tab, select from the dropdown: 
   • Include for teachers and students (default)
   • Exclude for students
   • Exclude for teachers and students
2. Select Save.

Note: All resources for a specific topic will be included/excluded, you can only narrow down from the bundle when you Exclude Assets via Search. 

Exclude Assets via Asset IDs

1. Go to the Exclude via Asset IDs section from the Excluded Assets tab.
2. Paste your list of GUIDs into the field.
3. Click Submit.
