/installation/desktop/usage/downloads only covered downloads Comfy Desktop starts for you: missing models, template models, and automatic remote outputs. The transfer you start by saving a generated image, video, or audio file from the Assets panel was not documented anywhere, even though it runs through the same download manager and shows up in the same tray.

This adds a Downloading generated assets section:

  • Entry points: Assets sidebar tab, the asset preview, the right-click menu, and Download all on a multi-selection.
  • Flow: Comfy Desktop opens a save dialog seeded with the folder you last saved to (system Downloads the first time), then the transfer appears in the Downloads tray with the same pause/cancel controls.
  • Existing file: the save dialog asks before replacing.
  • Cloud: several assets from a Cloud instance arrive as one zip.

Also in this PR:

  • Page title/description broadened from model downloads to downloads, since the page is no longer model-only. Sidebar label stays Downloads.
  • The storage section now says self-started asset downloads go wherever you point the save dialog, not into the instance output folder (which is what the automatic remote-output downloads do).

Behavior checked against source: useMediaAssetActions.downloadAssets, MediaAssetContextMenu / MediaAssetSelectionBar, and the Desktop side will-download handler in comfyDownloadManager.ts (non-managed downloads get the save dialog and a row in the tray) plus the downloadAssetsAsZip path behind isCloud.

zh / ja / ko / es updated in the same PR, hashes synced, structure parity checked locally.

The Downloads page only covered model, template, and remote-output
downloads, so the transfer you start yourself from the Assets panel (save a
generated image, video, or audio file to a folder you pick) was missing.

Adds a "Downloading generated assets" section with the entry points
(Assets panel, preview, right-click, Download all), the save dialog, the
tray entry, overwrite confirmation, and the Cloud zip for multi-asset
downloads. Also broadens the page title and description from model
downloads to downloads, and notes in the storage section that self-started
asset downloads are not written to the instance folders.

Translated to zh, ja, ko and es in the same PR.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 01aa2

The new instructions direct readers to the wrong place to pause downloads. Downloads still work, and pausing is available in the full view, so the change is mergeable with this bounded documentation correction.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @es/installation/desktop/usage/downloads.mdx:
- Line 3: Correct the Spanish imperative in the `description` metadata: replace
“pausálas” with “páusalas” while leaving the rest of the description unchanged.

Review comments at @installation/desktop/usage/downloads.mdx:
- Line 26: Update the download instructions in the visible step so it no longer
implies the Downloads tray can pause transfers; direct users to open **View All
Downloads** and select **Pause**, while keeping the tray guidance for following
or canceling the download. Apply the equivalent correction to the translated
steps.
