The Desks structure allows you and other Bricolage users to share and exchange assets.

After you create and save a new asset, it resides on your Workspace by default. You can then check it in to a Desk to make it accessible to others in your company's community. Once a user from one Desk edits and approves the asset, he or she will move it to the next Desk and the process will repeat until the asset is ready to be published.

A Desk looks and operates a lot like your Workspace -- it's just a common space version. If a photograph media asset resides on the "Art Desk," as an example, any user who has access to the "Art Desk" will have access to the photograph, though only one at a time can edit it.

### Asset Properties (on Desks)

Title
  Click to preview the asset in another window (except for Templates).
Category
  Where on the site an asset is published.
Cover Date
  The date that will be posted with the asset. (this is not necessarily the publish date, but what appears to viewers to be the publish date).
Priority
  Tells users how urgent the asset is.
Check Out
  Brings the asset to your Workspace to be edited. When an asset is checked out, it is still listed on the most recent Desk and can be viewed there, but may not be checked out to another user until it is first checked back in to the Desk. If the asset is checked out to another use, this the name of the user who has the asset checked out will be displayed, rather than this link.
Check In
  If you see this option, it means that you have checked the asset out from this Desk to your Workspace. To let another user access and edit the asset, you'll need to click this link to check the asset back in to the Desk.
Move to
  This select menu moves the asset to another Desk. Select the desired Desk, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Move Assets. You can move more than one asset at a time. This select menu is not available if the asset is checked out to another user.
Notes
  View any editorial notes users have attached to the asset.
Trail
  Lists what Desks the asset has been checked in to.
Edit
  This option will only appear to you if the asset is checked out to your Workspace.
