# Manage assets

Create, retrieve, update, delete, and restore [assets](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/build-your-first-metadata-workflow/llms.txt) through the API. Rather than covering every asset type in detail, the guides below focus on the operations and patterns to follow for each operation.

In many cases, you can also [combine multiple operations](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/combine-operations/llms.txt) into a single API call for efficiency.
