AssetsTK is the strategy to move files along with your model onto the server that runs your Turnkey application every time you upload your model.

Your model has a file name ending with either .ecomdl (multi-file format) or .modlr (zip format).

Create a folder next to your model file and name it <Your Model file name without extension>_AssetsTK.
Now, any files put into the _AssetsTK folder will be uploaded along with your model - and expanded out from your application root.
If you need to put an image in the Content folder of your app, create a Content folder in _AssetsTK and put your image in there.

AssetsTK is further detailed in the section on Theme_and_style - but note that AssetsTK is useful for more things than sending style information to the server.

View unique styles and scripts

View_Assets/[ViewModelName]/[ViewModelName].css and View_Assets/[ViewModelName]/[ViewModelName].js files are detected and Turnkey will inject these when the ViewModel is shown. This is a way to keep styles separated from tkusercss.css

Common Overrides You Can Try

<YouModelFileName>_AssetsTK/Views/EXT_OverridePages/index.cshtml

Now the Index ViewModel will be replaced with the HTML you have in index.cshtml - still framed by the Turnkey app (Main menu and left menu).

<YouModelFileName>_AssetsTK/favicon.ico (or .png) will change the tab logo in the browser.
