Manage media

Browse, search, upload, and organise images and files from the media library, and pick one to illustrate a section — all from the in-context Page Editor.

The media library is where a content manager stores and picks the images and files used on CMS pages. It opens from any section field that expects an image, and lets you browse folders, upload new files, and keep them organised — without leaving the page.

Open the media library​

While editing a page, select a section and look at its properties. Any field of type image or media shows the current value with a browse button (folder icon); clicking it — or the value field itself — opens the media library dialog.

The same library opens for a section's background image in the common options.

The library shows the current folder as a grid of folders and files:

  • a breadcrumb at the top tracks where you are; click any segment to jump back up;
  • click a folder tile to open it;
  • the search box (top right) looks across the whole library — both files and folders — so you can find an asset without remembering which folder it's in.

Image files show a thumbnail; PDFs show a first-page preview when the backend provides one; other files show a generic icon.

Upload files​

Use the Upload files button at the bottom of the dialog to add assets to the current folder. You can pick several files at once; they upload one after another.

note

Upload is through the file picker — there is no drag-and-drop, and files always land in the folder you're currently viewing.

Organise folders and files​

  • New folder — create a sub-folder in the current folder.
  • Rename — hover a folder or file tile and click the pencil.
  • Delete — hover a tile and click the trash icon, then confirm. Deleting a folder removes everything inside it.

There is no move or copy between folders: organise by uploading into the right folder, or by deleting and re-uploading.

Pick an image​

Click a file tile to select it (it highlights), then Confirm to insert it into the field and close the dialog. The field stores the file's URL, served from your CMS backend, so it stays available on the published page.

For an image field, you can then set the alt text under the field's Advanced options — important for accessibility and SEO. A media field stores the URL only.
