Media

In this section, learn how to add images, documents, and remote videos to your website. 

Media is uploaded to a media management tool on the site. The Media Library enables you to find media that exists in your site and to add new media items. It allows you to search, sort, and create media items with a robust interface. Media items can be directly added to a field (e.g., member profile picture), or embed into your content via the WYSIWYG text editor. 

Updating a media item in the Media Library will update all references to that media item. For example, editing the Wilkinson Building image/media item by removing the current image and updating a seasonal one will update the image on all pages where the images is being used. So, you can manage all media on your site in one location - the media library.
