Hello guys, a query wanted to know if a sprite design can be saved in the gallery so as not to redraw it when you want to use it in another project

@Gemerson make sure to check the ‘Assets’ tab in the editor to see any images, backgrounds and tilemaps you have created

In the sprite editor, or where you draw the sprite, instead of going into the gallery, go into the next tab, assets, and click the image you want.

If you want to use the same sprite for a different program, you’ll either have to save a .png file to your computer or create a GitHub repo with the sprite image inside.  
Assets in Arcade do not carry over to different projects.

Another option is copy-pasting the image from one project to another —

if you go to the Asset Editor, there’s a “Copy” button on the panel. If you click it, then you can use “Ctrl-V” to paste it into a new image in your new project
