Embedded vs Referenced


Type

Meaning

Embedded

Asset data is inside the .riv file

Referenced

Asset loaded from external URL at runtime

Why it matters:

  • Embedded = larger file, works offline

  • Referenced = smaller file, requires network

Total Size

See combined size of all assets at a glance.

💡 Total only includes embedded assets. Referenced assets load separately.

Filtering

Show only specific asset types:

☑️ Fonts
☑️ Images
☐ Audio      ← hidden

Sorting

  • By name - Alphabetical (A-Z or Z-A)

  • By size - Largest first or smallest first

Use Cases

Optimize file size

  1. Sort by size (descending)

  2. Identify largest embedded assets

  3. Consider referencing instead of embedding

Check referenced assets

  • Debug loading issues

Verify assets loaded

  • Check expected fonts/images appear

  • Confirm nothing is missing

Audit before shipping

  • Review total embedded size

  • Balance embedded vs referenced

Tips

Embedded = portable - File works anywhere, no network needed.
Referenced = lightweight - Smaller .riv file, but needs connectivity.
