# Find, change, export or delete assets

_Skileo › Assets · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

Search by name, serial number, provider, holder or place, and narrow the list with filters. Select several assets to change their responsible person, add tags, export them or delete them.

## Search and filter

1. Open “Assets” and choose “Equipment” or “Software & subscriptions”.
2. Type in the search: a name, a model, a serial number, a supplier or provider, a place or a holder's name.
3. Click “Show filters” to narrow the list by “Status”, “Category”, “Holder”, “Warranty”, “Coming up”, “Tags” or “Responsible”.

The “Holder” filter also offers “Nobody” and “Leaving soon”.

To show more columns, such as the “Location” or the “Cost”, click “Customize columns”.

## Change several assets at once

1. Tick the assets in the list.
2. Open the menu that appears and choose:
   - **“Change responsible”**: who gets their reminders.
   - **“Add tags”**: the tags are added to the ones they have.
   - **“Export”**: a CSV file of the selected assets. Licence keys are never in it.
   - **“Delete”**.

## Change one asset

Open it and click “Edit”. Every change is kept in its “Activity” tab, with who made it and when.

## Delete an asset

Open it, click the menu at the top right and choose “Delete”, then confirm.

The asset goes to the “Trash”, with its files and history. To get it back, click “Undo” in the message that appears, or see [Restore a deleted item](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/restore-deleted-items).

An item you no longer use is better marked “Retire”: it leaves the list but keeps its history.


## Common questions

### Why can't I find an old laptop?

Retired, lost and ended assets are hidden by default. Choose “All” in the “Status” filter.

### Does the search find licence keys?

No. Licence keys are never searched, listed or exported.
