# Asset Escrow ZCF Development resources can use the official Cfx Asset Escrow system. Asset Escrow protects the core files of a resource while still allowing server owners to edit the configuration files that are meant to be customized. This keeps the product safer against leaks, reselling and unauthorized redistribution, while still giving buyers the settings they need to adapt the resource to their own server. ### What Asset Escrow means When a resource is protected with Asset Escrow, some files are encrypted and cannot be opened or edited. This is normal. Usually, the protected files contain the core logic of the resource, while editable files include configuration and setup files. Common editable files are: ``` fxmanifest.lua config.lua ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
