# Configuring the Design Editor

**Applies to:** Customer's Canvas On-Premises; Design Editor 6.15.0, 6.x (may differ) · **Archived documentation**
 
To display Amazon S3 assets in the **Asset Manager**, you must configure this asset source in `~\Configuration\clientConfig.json` and define the **X-GoogleDriveAPIKey** request header in `~\Configuration\AssetSourcesConfig.json`.
 
This topic describes how you can configure the Design Editor to access Amazon S3 assets.
 
## Defining the Asset Source
  
Now that you have [set up and run GDWS](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/amazon-api-service.htm.md), you can define the Amazon S3 source as follows:
 
```
{
    "assetSources": {
        "[source]AmazonS3": {
            "type": "RemoteSource",
            "url": "https://gdws.example.com/"
        }
    },
    "widgets": {
        "AssetManager": {
            "tabs": [{
                "name": "Amazon",
                "assetSourceInstance": "[source]AmazonS3"
            }]
        }
    }
}
```
 
Here, we only specified the URL to the running instance of GDWS. To learn how to fine-tune this asset source, you can refer to [The Asset Manager](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/asset-manager.htm.md) topic.
 
In addition to the parameters responsible for displaying images, you must pass the user ID (representing a folder in your bucket) and a token in the editor's config. The [following topic](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/amazon-s3-tokens.htm.md) describes how you can generate and pass tokens.
 
## Parameters of the Web API
  
The Design Editor uses the Web API to render print files. For the security policy, you must specify hi-res secret keys for remote sources in the `~\Configuration\AssetSourcesConfig.json` file. This file looks as follows:
 
```
{
    "[source]AmazonS3": {
        "type": "RemoteSource",
        "hiResSecret": {
            "httpHeader": "X-GoogleDriveAPIKey",
            "secret": "UniqueSecurityKey"
        }
    }
}
```
 
Here, the object name **"[source]AmazonS3"** corresponds to the asset source name defined in `clientConfig.json`. The **httpHeader** is a parameter of your request payload. To render images hosted on Amazon S3, you need to pass the **X-GoogleDriveAPIKey** header. The value of the **secret** property corresponds to the **ApiSecurityKey** value specified in the `Web.config` file when setting up the [web service](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/amazon-api-service.htm.md) supporting the Amazon API.
 
Now that you have configured the general parameters, you can move further and learn how to [generate user-specific tokens](https://customerscanvas.com/docs/cc6/amazon-s3-tokens.htm.md) and pass them into the editor.
