Organize and move WordPress assets
Assistant Pro is the paid cloud extension for Assistant, a standalone WordPress plugin designed to make common site tasks easier from the front end. Pro focuses on moving templates and assets between sites, providing cloud storage and libraries for WordPress materials that need to be organized, reused, or transferred during a design and publishing workflow.
The service is designed for people working across more than one WordPress site, including staging and production environments. It can help bring shared assets into one accessible place while supporting collaboration between people involved in content, design, and site delivery.
Cloud libraries for WordPress work
Assistant Pro lets you store page builder and block editor templates in the cloud. You can organize site assets into libraries that can be accessed from anywhere. Supported library content includes media, posts, pages, page builder templates, and WooCommerce products, coupons, and orders.
- Keep templates created with the Block Editor or a page builder in cloud libraries.
- Organize media, content, templates, and listed WooCommerce items.
- Find assets from a shared location rather than treating each site as a separate workspace.
- Use libraries as part of a repeatable design and content workflow.
This approach is useful when a team creates layouts or content that must be reused across sites. It can also help separate the work of preparing assets from the work of placing them on a particular WordPress installation.
Support for editors and page builders
Assistant works with the Block Editor and common WordPress page builders. The listed integrations include Gutenberg, Beaver Builder, Elementor, Divi, and Visual Composer. Assistant Pro’s cloud libraries are therefore suited to workflows that use different editing tools across projects or sites.
Assistant itself also provides front-end shortcuts for everyday WordPress tasks. From the front-end interface, users can access posts, pages, and archives; view recently edited posts; search WordPress; find posts, pages, and custom post types; upload media by dropping files into the Media app; monitor comments and theme or plugin updates; and add custom labels to posts or pages. These core tools provide the working environment around the Pro cloud features.
Staging and production workflows
Assistant Pro is intended to facilitate staging-to-production workflows and team collaboration. A team can use cloud libraries to keep templates and other assets available while moving work between environments. This is particularly practical for agencies, designers, and site teams that build or maintain multiple WordPress sites and need a consistent way to organize shared materials.
The service is also designed to support design processes by keeping frequently used assets and templates together. Instead of limiting a template or asset to one project workspace, libraries provide a central place to organize items intended for use across WordPress sites.
