The context menu provides quick access to common asset actions directly from the site content tree.

## Overview

The context menu, accessible by right-clicking on any asset, provides you with a menu of available actions for that asset. Only actions you have permission to take will be available. For example, if you don't have permission to edit a page, the **Edit** option will not be available in the context menu.
