Assets are reusable, structured, and product-specific objects that contribute to the success of Swimlane tasks by handling secure authentication and configuration specifications for external systems.

On the Integrations, **Assets** tab, you can view the assets that you have already set up. If you can't find a specific asset, consider looking through your uploaded plugins. You might need to upload a plugin that has the asset type that you are looking for.

   You can filter the assets to narrow your search.
3. On Configure Your Plugin Asset, set the asset's parameters. You can also edit the existing **Asset Name** and **Asset Description**, as needed.

   If the parameters you set on the asset include any API key or other connective details, you can test the active connection of the asset within Swimlane.
4. Click **Test Connection** and ensure you get the resulting "Asset Test Successful" message.

5. On Configure Your Plugin Asset, click **Looks Good**.

   Once an asset is configured, it can be used with any new or existing task.
6. **Note:** Tasks can require a certain version of an asset. For example, a task that talks to Elasticsearch 2 would require an Elasticsearch 2 asset.

## Edit an Asset

To edit an asset:

1. On the Integrations, **Assets** tab, locate the existing asset.
2. Access the Asset Management page by clicking near the name of the asset.

4. Now you can edit the parameters or asset name or description. Test the connection as necessary and then click **Looks Good**.
