In the properties menu of the Assets window you have a couple of options that are useful.

## FileWatcher

FileWatcher is a LightAct feature that monitors the asset repository. If enabled, the moment you copy an asset into the repository, it will be ingested into LightAct.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Good to know**: if you want to have manual control over when to ingest assets you will want to disable that.
{% endhint %}

## Get data

Get Data function reads the Asset and makes it ready to play.

{% hint style="warning" %}
LightAct needs to Get the Data of an Asset before it can play it.
{% endhint %}
