Media App

The Media App allows you to browse, sort media, upload new media and delete media.

Media app overview

Browse & Sort Media​

You can browse and sort media using the filters located at the top of the Media App. You can sort by the following:

  • Type - Filter by All, Photo, Document, Video and Audio.
  • Display As - Arrange media items in a List or Grid (Default) layout.
  • Label - Filter media items by label.
  • Sort By - Sort media items by ID, Date Uploaded (Default) or Last Modified.
  • Order - Sort by Ascending or Descending (Default).

You can restore the filters to default using the Reset Filters button.

Upload Media​

  1. Open the Media App.
  2. Click the Plus (+) icon.
  3. Choose files or drop the file onto the box to upload.

You can edit a media item by clicking it. This displays the following sections:

  • Metadata – You can edit the Title, Alternative text, and Description fields.
  • Info – non-editable information about file size, file type, when uploaded, and who uploaded.
  • Links – File URL and attachment URL.
  • Labels – Add custom labels here.
  • Actions – Includes the following actions:
    • View Attachment - This will take you to the attachments page, for example https://my-website.com?attachment_id=100.
    • Save to Library - Adds the media item to a library.
