A lot of your best content is already published on the web, and downloading it just to re-upload it as a PDF creates unnecessary busywork. URL Assets let you point UserEvidence at any public web page and treat it like a first-class asset — searchable by content, classifiable with the same tags and custom types as your uploaded files, and usable across search, recommendations, and Proof Pages.
How to Use It
Go to Assets → Create Asset → URL Asset.
Paste the URL and optionally add a title and description.
Select an asset type and apply any relevant tags and classifiers (Company Size, Industry, Role, etc.).
Click Publish Asset to Library.
A preview image is generated automatically — UserEvidence first attempts a live screenshot of the page, falls back to the page's social share image, and if neither is available you can upload a custom one. The page content is also scraped and indexed in the background, so the asset surfaces in search based on what the page actually says — not just its title.
Linking to an Advocate (Optional)
To associate a URL asset with a specific person or contributor, open the asset's edit page and connect it to an existing person or advocate record. This makes the asset visible under the right contributor in search and reporting.
Good to Know
Public pages only. Pages behind a login or paywall will still import, but the indexed content may be limited since the page can't be fully scraped.
Content is captured at import time. If the source page is updated later, the asset won't refresh automatically. Re-importing the URL is the current workaround.
One URL at a time. Bulk URL import (for example, from a CSV) is not available in this release.
URL assets do not support PDF or PNG download. File assets still support download rendering; URL assets do not at this time.
Quotes and testimonials are not automatically extracted from scraped pages. Adding individual testimonials from a case study still requires manual entry.
