Asset Operators
===============
Note that only assets created via :ref:`Duplicate Asset... <bpy.ops.brush.asset_save_as>` can be edited using these
operators. For others (including brush assets bundled in the Essentials library), these operations will be grayed out.
Brushes can be managed through a few operators that let Blender handle the act of saving and
updating the brushes in asset libraries for you. Assets managed this way will be saved in special
:ref:`asset system files <asset-system-files>` using a `.asset.blend` file extension.

Note that only brush assets created via :ref:`Duplicate Asset... <bpy.ops.brush.asset_save_as>`
can be edited further using these asset operators. For others, these operations will be grayed
out, and :ref:`manual management <brush-management-manual>` is necessary.
Brushes from the **Essentials** asset library cannot be edited.
