Is it true that even if I changed one asset in a bundle group, after a content update, the user will need to redownload the whole bundle in order to update that one single asset?

Thank you very much.

True. It’s a different bundle if you change a part of the bundle in that scenario. If you handle each asset separately, outside of creating an asset bundle, then it would just be the asset itself needing to be updated. Smaller asset bundles helps to avoid larger asset bundle updates.

Thanks for the reply : ) How do I achieve handle each asset separately, outside of creating an asset bundle?

Don’t create an asset bundle, just load the addressable assets when you need them.

Thanks for the reply, but I am still a bit confused.

When we mark an asset as addressable, doesn’t it means that it has to be assigned to a group. And when we build the content the group becomes an asset bundle that gets uploaded to a hosting server? How can we download that individual asset in that case?

Again, thank you very much.

You can change the Bundle Mode of the Group from “Pack Together” by default to “Pack Separately” or “Pack Together By Label”, depending on your needs, I believe.

Got it! Thank you so much MadMojo!
