Overview

This guide covers day-to-day tasks in the Media Library—uploading files, browsing, searching, using the picker modal, and removing files.

Step-by-Step

Uploading Files

From the Media Library page:

  1. Open the Media Library from the sidebar.

  2. Click Upload and select one or more files from your computer.

  3. Files are uploaded and thumbnails are generated automatically.

From the picker modal (inside any module):

  1. When an image picker appears, switch to the Upload New tab.

  2. Select a file. It uploads to the library and is automatically selected for use.

Browsing the Library

The Media Library displays all files in a grid of 300x300 WebP thumbnails sorted by upload date (newest first). Scroll through the grid to browse your assets.

Searching for Files

  1. Click the Search field at the top of the Media Library.

  2. Type part of the file name.

  3. Results filter in real time as you type.

Descriptive file names matter—searching for "holiday-banner" is far easier than "IMG_0042."

Using the Picker Modal

When you need to select an image from any module:

  1. Click the image field or Choose Image button.

  2. The picker modal opens with two tabs:

    • Media Library — Browse or search existing uploads and click a thumbnail to select.

    • Upload New — Upload a file that gets added to the library and selected immediately.

  3. The modal closes once you make a selection.

Deleting Files

  1. Open the Media Library and find the file to remove.

  2. Select it and click Delete, then confirm.

Deleted files are permanent. Components using that file will show a missing-image placeholder until you assign a replacement.

Tips

  • Name files descriptively before uploading: spring-collection-banner.jpg beats screenshot-2026-03-10.png.

  • Upload all assets for a campaign at once, then select them as you build.

  • Before deleting, consider whether the file is used in any live templates, campaigns, or navigation.

FAQ

Can I upload videos? Yes. The Media Library supports images and videos. Video thumbnails are generated from the first frame.

Can I organize files into folders? The library uses a flat structure with search. Use consistent naming conventions to stay organized.

Is there a storage limit? Limits depend on your plan. Check your account settings for details.
