Media
Upload files to your Media Gallery and reuse them anywhere on your site.
Uploading to the Media Library
Adds files to your Media Gallery so they can be used anywhere on your site.
The Media Library is your central storage hub for every image and file on your site. Once a file is uploaded here, it can be reused across any page or section without uploading again.
- Click on Sites in your top navigation bar, then select Media from the drop-down menu.
- On the Media page, you will see a rectangular box surrounded by dotted lines.
- Choose your files:
- Drag and Drop: Grab files from your computer and drop them directly into the dotted box.
- Click the box: This opens your computer's file picker to select your files. 4. You can select one or multiple files at once. Click Upload to add them to your library. 5. Rename (Optional): Once uploaded, you can edit the File Name directly in its text area. If you change a name, you must click Save for the change to stick.
Recommended practices:
- Use descriptive filenames. Instead of 'IMG_1234.jpg', use 'Blue-Container-Lab.jpg'.
- Optimise image sizes before uploading to the dimensions they will actually appear on screen.
- Avoid large files. Aim for a balance between quality and file size.
Pro Tip: Because the library is shared across the whole site, you only need to upload your company logo or common icons once. When you want to use them again, just select them from the library.
