Im new when it comes to using UE and have watched a few tutorials on it. However i am struggling with getting textures added to my terrain. My main issue is if i load an official map i can find TLS textures added to the terrain. However if i load my own map and browse for TLS textures in the content browser i get no results. How do i add the TLS textures to my content browser?

In the content browser, right click on "external" and hit fully load. do this until it greys out. you wont find assets until they are loaded. you could load specific packages if you know where the assets are located. On vanilla maps, you can also open the TLS properties, and dig through them until you find the material, and there is a magnifying glass that finds it in the content browser for you.

Also, once you get going on terrain mats, and start playing around with them, if you want to replace one, after deleting the "old" material, the material stays on the terrain until you hit the button that re-caches the materials, in the terrain editor tool window.
