It might be nice to make 'Asset Shelf' a link to the glossary (assuming that Asset Shelf was added there).

The Sidebar of the 3D Viewport has a Pose Library panel in the Animations tab.
Contrary to the Asset Browser, which can be used for different asset types and
also for some asset management tasks, this panel is dedicated to applying poses.
This means that it can allow faster interaction.
.. note::
The pose library previously lived in the Sidebar within the Pose Library panel.
The panel still exists, but now contains a button to open the asset shelf.
In the 3D viewport, poses can be quickly applied from the :ref:`ui-region-asset_shelf`.
Contrary to the Asset Browser, the shelf allows you to apply poses quicker.
**Click on a pose to apply it.** A single click is enough.
You can also select and apply a pose via the cursor keys.

Search
------
To search for assets, hover your mouse over the Asset Shelf, then press Ctrl-F and type a search query.
This will filter the poses to match what you typed.
Tabs
----
.. figure:: /images/asset_shelf-tabs.png
The usage of catalogs as tabs.
Catalogs can be shown as individual tabs. Each tab will only show its content, and the content of its children.
That makes it easy to filter down to a certain set of assets.
Display Options
---------------
.. figure:: /images/asset_shelf-options.png
Display options available for the asset shelf.
It is possible to change the size of items on the shelf by using the size property.
By toggling on the "Names" checkbox, the asset names will be shown in the shelf. Alternatively it is also
possible to hover over an item to show its name.
By default the shelf only has a height for one item row. To allow for more rows, drag it on the upper edge to increase its size.
