# 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. ![Screenshot of Media Library showing Table and Grid views, Add Media button, filter options, and media item list.](/sites/g/files/omnuum1651/files/styles/hwp_1_1__720x720_scale/public/2024-11/screenshot_media_library.png?itok=4792FVq-) Use the Media Library to access documents, images, embeds, and video and to add new media items. ##
