Adding Files to the Media Library

Adding files, documents, or images to the media library is simple. But first, there are some key things to understand.

  • All files, documents, or images used on a site should be added to the media library.
  • All files added to the media library should have a description and name.
  • The media library can be organized with folders or sections.

How to upload a file, image, or document to the media library

  3. Once there, you'll be presented with a list of folders as shown below.

    To expand a folder and see the folders inside of it, just click the small '+' square to the left of the name. Inside of each site folder is an image and document folder. Uploaded images should go into the image folder, and uploaded documents should go into the documents folder. You can always add a new folder to keep your files and images organized.
