@Natalie_Shanks_OneAmerica We should ideally keep final assets in DAM. However, if there is a need to upload work in progress assets too, it is advisable to maintain separate taxonomy/folder structures. This is needed to:
1. Save Space/storage
2. Manage your assets better
3. Keep Final assets separately for live site usage.
4. Better searchability of assets.
You can create structures like:
content/dam/wip/images
content/dam/wip/documents
content/dam/final/images
content/dam/final/documents
Keep in mind your org folder structure too. Hope this helps.
