Adding a new resource to media library

From

You can add resources to the library by selecting the type of the resource file and providing a title. It is important to select the correct type of resource which corresponds to your file to ensure the automatically generated display template does not produce errors when you try to use the file in your content. If in doubt, or your resource type is not currently supported, select the file which supports any file, making it available for download without attempting to parse it and display it correctly.

The content of any folder in the media library is presented as a list. Long lists are broken down to pages to make it easier to navigate to your desired resource. For each resource you are able to move the file to another existing folder within the media library by selecting the destination folder from the {Media Library} drop down selection and clicking [Move].

You can also view the resource by clicking on [View]. The information you see will depend on the resource type selected. For example images are displayed along with any additional information associated with it while files are presented as a downloadable link.

To upload a replacement file for a resource or alter any of the information associated with it, click on [Edit]. To permanently delete the resource click on [Delete] keeping in mind that this operation can not be undone and any instances where you used this resource in content will need to be edited to avoid the content appearing to be broken. For example, if you upload an image to the media library, use it in a rich text page and then delete the image, the rich text page will display a broken image where the deleted image was placed. Similarly users trying to download a file from a link you created to a file you subsequently deleted will receive an error message.

When editing, each resource has specific fields available for editing aside from the resource name. In each case if you would like to keep your changes click on [Save], or to discard any changes made since the last save, click on [Back to View].
