 In Azure IoT Operations Preview, a key task is to manage the assets that are part of your solution. This article defines what assets are, overviews the services you use to manage them, and explains the most common use cases for the services.
 
 ## Understand assets
-Assets are a core component of Azure IoT Operations.
+Assets are a core component of Azure IoT Operations. It's important to understand how assets relate to IoT devices.
+
+An *IoT device* is a physical entity connected to the internet, and can gather, generate, and communicate data autonomously. IoT devices typically contain embedded components to perform specific functions. They can interact with their environment or other devices. Examples of IoT devices include crop sensors, connected security cameras, wearable devices, and monitoring devices for manufacturing environments or vehicles. 
 
-An *asset* in an industrial edge environment is a device, a machine, a process, or an entire system. These assets are the real assets that exist in manufacturing, retail, energy, healthcare, and other sectors.
+An *asset* in an industrial edge environment is any item of value that an IoT device can manage or monitor. While all IoT devices are assets, not all assets are devices. An asset can also be a machine, a process, software, an entire system, or a physical object of value such as crops, or a building. These assets are common examples that exist in manufacturing, retail, energy, healthcare, and other sectors. 
 
 An *asset* in Azure IoT Operations is a logical entity (an asset instance) that you create to represent a real asset. An Azure IoT Operations asset can emit telemetry, and can have properties (writable data points), and commands (executable data points) that describe its behavior and characteristics. You use these asset instances in the software to manage the real assets in your industrial edge environment.
