File Management

The Files and Photos sections let you attach relevant files and images to a record. You can find both in the right-hand panel when viewing an individual record. Any user with access to that record can view its attachments, and users with the Editor role or higher can upload their own.

For assets, you can show or hide each section per asset layout. Open the layout in the asset layout builder, go to the Settings tab, and check or uncheck Files or Photos under Include.

You can also turn off Photos across your entire Hudu instance in Admin > General. This removes the Photos core tool and the Photos section from the right-hand panel on all records. This setting overrides the asset layout setting, so the Photos section stays hidden even on layouts where it’s checked.
