Asset Library: Editor AssetLib v. Web Page

Question

What is the difference between the AssetLib in the Godot Editor and https://godotengine.org/asset-library/asset?

The documentation leads me to believe they are one in the same.

They're available to all Godot users for download directly from within the engine, but it can also be accessed at Godot's official website.

But, if I search for 'font' under the Editor AssetLib, then I get 3 entries. If is submit 'font' to the web page, then I get hundreds of entries.

Are they the same? If so, how do I get similar results when search either of them?

Answer 1

They are the same, yes. And the search in the editor shows only the ones that are compatible with your engine version whereas the online search by default lists all.

Answer 2

Also, the asset's Category determines whether the asset will be visible in the AssetLib in the Godot Editor.

The category is split into Addons and Projects. In-editor, assets of the Project type (Templates, Demos, Projects) only show up when viewing the AssetLib from the Project Manager, while assets of the Addon type will only be visible from inside a project.

I've submitted two assets to the library. One is in the Addons/Scripts category and is visible in the editor. The other is in the Projects/Demos category and is not visible in the editor. The latter one should probably be in a different category, since it's an addon that includes a demo project.
