When Chaos Cosmos assets are missing and need to be downloaded, the Appearance Manager toolbar icon appears with a warning dot indicator.

The same indicator appears on the Objects Families tab and in the Search field, when opening the Appearance Manager. When you click on the  indicator in the Search field, it filters and displays only the missing assets that need to be downloaded. In such case, the regular filter and search cannot be used and are disabled.

The  download button starts downloading the missing asset. It works on both single and multiple selection. When downloading is triggered, a progress bar and percentage appear next to each item.
