Media Library
The Media Library provides a simple and customizable view of all the media used on your site. You will find the Media Library under the Content menu item in the administrator toolbar.
Media items include documents, embeds, images, and video. Items in the Media Library can be reused across your site, so you don’t have to re-upload a file every time you want to use it.
Use the Media Library to:
- View a list of all the documents, images, embeds, and video on your site.
- Filter the list by name, media type, publish status, and language.
- View the thumbnail, name, author, and last updated date for each media item.
- Access links to edit or delete a media item.
- Upload a new version of a media item.
- Add new media items to the media library.
