Adding media

This article provides instructions to adding and configuring media files or documents in the Library.


Add Media File or Document

  2. In the ‘Upload a media file or document’ section, drag-and-drop files directly from an open folder on your desktop, or click ‘select files’ and browse for content.

    Note

    You can simply drag an item into the drop zone to start uploading a file, and continue to drop files while other content items are being uploaded.

  3. Once the content is uploaded, double-click the content.


  4. In the Content Properties tab, fill in the title, description, tags, and set an expiry date.


    For more information on Content Expiry, click the Setting Content Expiry article.

  6. If additional content attributes are required, click the Attributes tab, and fill in the Attribute and Value for the content.
