When you add an additional image to an Object State the image does not seem to appear on the timeline.  So, in effect it is invisible to me as the designer/developer.  So are the Object States – unless I know they are there, they are essentially invisible to me as a designer/developer.

Is there some place that shows all my “assets” that I am using and where they are, even if they don’t show on the timeline?  Library panel only indicates the number of occurrences, I believe.  Can’t I get some type of report that really tells me what’s going on?

Or how do you all keep track of what you are developing, or explain it to another developer/designer or document it for others in the future?  In programming I would put comments before each section of programming code.  Is that what the comments pane is for?

So what is best practice?

I’m publishing to HTML5, should I be documenting that output?  Is that even feasible?

Here is a link to the blog post I mentioned in my previous answer. Reason for a separate comment: this answer may have to be moderated.

Indeed, added items to a custom object state do not show up on the slide timeline.

As for the Library: you can use the Usage button, which shows you where all the instances of that asset are used. Will post a link to a post you will find interesting, because I already mentioned the use of External Libraries in one of my other answers to you.
