# Step 3: Asset Management – Importing & Ingesting Media

### Make some space in Cosmo

Once your organization is ready, you can create a **Space** in **Cosmo** — the core area to manage your projects and assets.

The central dashboard area is where your content lives. When you select a Space, this area fills with your **Assets**, including:

* **Folders:** Organize your project files for easy navigation.
* **Media Files:** Videos, audio, and images with visual thumbnails help you quickly find what you need.
* **Metadata:** Access technical details and review statuses directly from this view.

To begin working in Cosmo, you need to populate your Space with media. While manual uploads are common, Helmut.cloud is designed as an open ecosystem, allowing advanced, automated ingest methods via the **High5 workflow engine**.
